The report and images emerging from Afghanistan are very disturbing. People selling their belongings and possessions in Kabul to make ends meet is now a common sight but the most disconcerting are reports that impoverished parents are selling off their babies to buy food. Beset with severe drought and water shortage, the situation in Afghanistan could be more dire. It demands the urgent intervention of the International community. Food is short, which medical supplies are fast drying up. It has warned that over 22.8m Afghans, who constitute nearly half the total population, are facing food insecurity while 3.2m children under the age of five can suffer from acute malnutrition. So, countries must step in to shoulder their responsibility and to address Afghanistan's latest disaster.
