Amid extreme poverty, Kabul residents complain of high price of food materials

Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan, reports of poverty in the nation have been emerging. There have been reports of many Afghans selling possessions to buy food because of the Taliban’s inability to pay wages to civil servants. Also, the urban communities are facing food insecurity similar to rural areas.

Residents of Kabul, however, recently complained about the high price of food materials. The residents claimed that even after a drop in dollar’s value against Afghan currency, there has been no reduction in the price of food materials.
