Imran Khan once again confirmed that Pakistan will continue to provide “all possible help” to Afghans in an effort to avoid the humanitarian crisis that floated in the country, reported the Tribune Express.

With every day passed, the situation in Afghanistan worsened under the new Taliban regime that did not have funds to buy food and other essence goods.
The lack of severe funds and a surge in unprecedented food prices have made a number of Afghans hungry and some people are forced to sell their children to survive, according to the Forum Think Tank International Tanks based in Canada for Rights and Security (IFFRAS) .
“There are reports that 95 percent of Afghans do not have enough food to eat while half of the population is expected to face the level of acute hunger as a winter set in early November,” Iffras said.
