Kabul: Afghan daily members are selling off their belongings in order to meet their ends as the country is struggling amid Taliban rule.
In a tweet, Martin Schuepp, Director of Operations of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), said an average Afghan family can only afford 82% of basic food commodities, expressing concerns over the economic and humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.
