When the U.S. military pulled out of Afghanistan in August, the Taliban immediately seized control and the international community acted quickly – freezing Afghan assets and foreign aid to pressure the Taliban to negotiate. To date, those negotiations haven't happened.
Today, 38 million Afghans find themselves facing one of the worst humanitarian crises on the planet with millions unable to pay for food or basic goods, putting half the country at risk of starvation this winter.
"I've been with WFP for a long time, 20-plus years, and I've never seen a crisis unfold and escalate at the pace and scale that we are seeing," Mary Ellen McGroarty told 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi.
McGroarty, director of the United Nations World Food Program in Afghanistan, said nearly 23 million people in the country are living in what the WFP calls "severe food insecurity."

We gave them everything they needed to invade someone and take their food.
Like ancient gorillas discovering a stick to go around and beat other gorillas with.
Although I’m thinking in too advanced terms for the muzzies.
Not our circus. Not our monkeys.
The Taliban is the government of Afghanistan. It is up to them to remedy this.
The Federal government should not get involved. Private citizens can, of course, get involved in relief efforts, but at their own risk.
Are poppies nutritious?
Thanks, Brandon!

Right. Then the question becomes, how much of the private relief would be skimmed off by the Taliban leadership? I think 85% would be a fair guess.
Not our Circus,and not our monkeys anymore. Twenty years of blood and treasure thrown away and they are still illiterate, filthy savages starving and begging for money.
Well, everything that Slo Joe touches turns to a disaster. And marry him to the Godless Left and it is a disaster that affects the world.
Lots of people have been moving to Texas and Florida. Do you think they just decided they like hot weather?
#ComDem_Covid19_Dictators are doing this.
The Communist always bring disaster, and after the disaster Totalitarian misery. Ultimately they kill millions they deem to not have a right to live.
Well, we will soon see how this plays out.
That’s the point. Afghanistan has plenty of land, water and natural gas to make fertilizer and then grow wheat. Instead they grow poppies because it is more profitable. They can use those profits to import food. Also western banks can release their assets ( if they really have any ) to buy food and transport it into Afghanistan. Let the Swedes, the Germans or the French be responsible for famine aid. Americans should stay out.
They were afraid of the Taliban and wouldn’t help us.
They should have been afraid of starving.
Oh, well…..
They can all go to Pakistan and eat.
It’s the Hutu and the Tutsi all over again. Shia Muslimbs hate Sunni Muslimbs.
Let them cannibalize each other. /spit.
Let’s go Brandon
As he kills off the world
This is what happens when Brandon doesn't get his ten percent of the little Afghan girls and boys...

Give up their religious ignorance or die
But the libs are so busy going after Tucker Carlson for not thinking we should send troops to Ukraine to fight off Russia, they won’t even KNOW about the starving Afghanis.....
They should eat their opium poppies.
It our circus, not our clowns.
