International funding to Afghanistan has been suspended and billions of dollars of the country’s assets abroad, mostly in the US, were frozen after the militants regained control of the government. More than half of the country’s estimated 40 million population faces ‘extreme levels of hunger, and nearly nine million of them are at risk of famine’, according to the UN refugee agency, UNHCR. One teenage mother, who said she had been operated on about a month ago, said: ‘We have no choice. Many of them have had to sell their organs to buyers across the border in Iran in an effort to repay their mounting debts.

We have to sell our children now and I’m prepared to do this for even 20,000 Afghanis (about £150 or $200). ‘I cannot see them all lose their lives… at least this way, someone else will feed them.’īoth she and her husband have already sold their kidneys and are now facing the unthinkable choice of which of their eight children to sell. In a heartbreaking interview with Sky News, a 25-year-old mother, from a village outside the city of Herat, in the western part of the country, said: ‘About six months ago, my three-year-old son died of hunger. One family, including three brothers and two sisters, all underwent surgery and sold their organs for around £1,150 each in order to feed their relatives. Six months into the new regime, the economy has been ‘paralysed’, and over half a million people have lost their jobs, forcing many to sell their kidneys and even their children. Thousands of US and UK troops pulled out of the South Asian country in August after a 20-year-long military mission, paving the way for a violent takeover from the Taliban. Starving families in Afghanistan are not only selling children, but have now been pushed into sell their organs to survive. “At one point, she stood up and had to move the bump around the table’s side!” “Rihanna was visibly drinking sparkling water and brazenly stroking her baby bump,” an insider told Page Six exclusively.
