Kabul: A displaced Afghan mother, who is driven by poverty, was forced to sell her infant to treat her 13-year-old daughter who is sick.
The Afghan woman was displaced from Baghlan province to Kabul due to fighting prior to the fall of Kabul.
Lailuma, who now stays in a tent in Kabul city, told Tolo News that she had no option but to sell her infant to treat her 13-year-old daughter who is sick.
Lailuma said she sold her baby for 30,000 Afs ($335) and that her husband has been missing since last year.
“I had no option but to sell my child for 30,000 Afs because no one wants to sell her child,” she said.
