Women and girls are still bearing the brunt of the humanitarian crisis and Taliban control in Afghanistan
Early six months after the Taliban took back control of Kabul after the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan after 20 years of conflict, the country continued to face violence and the humanitarian crisis.
The capital city was arrested on August 15, 2021, which triggered efforts to escape from Afghans, refugees and civilians.
The rest of the world witnessed a sad image emerged from Kabul Airport, where the witnesses said several people died, and showed people sticking to the wheel of landing on taxi aircraft in a desperate effort to escape. In the wall of the airport compound, the woman who was desperate photographed threw her baby on a razor wire, asked the British army to take them to a safe place.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan reported that 1,659 civilians were killed and 3,524 others were injured in the first six months of 2021 leading to collapse.
And increased violence, the country experienced an economic crisis that was exacerbated by conflict, because the US and other Western countries cut direct financial assistance, and severe droughts caused the collapse of food security.
Thus, at the end of 2021, the World Food Program warned that “Afghanistan is now among the worst humanitarian crisis in the world – if not the worst”.
