As Afghans spend a second consecutive winter under the rule of the Taliban, a majority of Afghanistan's households are struggling to find warmth and health care, and many families are putting children to bed with empty stomachs.
. According to the United Nations Development Program,"the price of a food basket, with the minimum calories to escape food poverty, has surged 35%."
Now Shallah lives in a rented one-bedroom house with her seven children. As in many Afghan families who've lost their male breadwinners, an eldest son has become the primary source of income. At just 11, her son spends most nights on the streets of Kabul. "The shop owner comes to our house every week and asks if my husband has sent money from Iran," she said, sobbing."I don't know if he is even alive."
