The never-ending costs of US war, in lives and dollars, still weigh on the lives of Afghanis.

    More than half of Afghanistan's 38 million people are to face hunger this winter.

The Taliban requested essential humanitarian relief without "political bias" on Friday, stressing that recent snow fall and rains have exacerbated the suffering of Afghanistan’s people.

The never-ending costs of US failure, in lives and dollars, are tragic for those living in Afghanistan. 

Joe Biden's decision to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan by the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks was a miscalculated decision on all levels - not because they did any good to Afghanistan, but the reason is attributed to how the US left the country.

After its hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, the US has boldly frozen billions of dollars in the country's assets, while relief deliveries have been severely hindered.

More than half of Afghanistan's 38 million people are projected to face hunger this winter, according to international aid agencies.

In a video appeal, deputy prime minister Abdul Ghani Baradar said the world had an obligation to help.

"In various places right now, people do not have food, accommodation, warm clothes or money," Baradar added. "The world has to support Afghan people without any political bias and carry out their humanitarian obligations."

Baradar stressed the weather had worsened the already "sensitive situation" of the Afghan people, adding that the Taliban were prepared to help with the distribution of international aid across the country.

"We call for the international community, NGOs and all the countries not to forget our poor people," he concluded.
