"In the weeks after the Taliban consolidated power in Kabul, the Biden administration placed a freeze on Afghanistan’s foreign reserves and prevented international groups from providing aid to the war-torn country.

Biden later signed an executive order to seize and divide the frozen funds, worth over $7 billion, earmarking half for the families of the victims of the 11 September attacks.

As a result of the White House’s unilateral measures, over half of Afghanistan’s population are facing acute food insecurity. They include a million children under the age of 5, who are “at risk of dying due to severe acute malnutrition,” as reported by UNICEF.

According to the country’s health ministry, over 13,000 Afghan babies born since January 2022 have died due to the collapse of the country’s healthcare sector."

    Give me your tired, your poor, your brave white Ukrainians yearning to breathe free. But Afghans? Fuck the wretched refuse of that brown teeming shore.

    facing acute food insecurity

    That's a funny way to write "facing starvation".
