holliesmckay.substack.com
This is part two of questions and answers with Hollie McKay from Kabul, Afghanistan. r.d.olson What are some of the financial and economic hardships the Afghanistan civilians are currently experiencing? Well, that's a really loaded question. I think in every single sector there is just a huge economic and humanitarian crisis. One of the most flagrant is the health situation. In the health sector, most of the NGO's that were here were foreigners; and they all disappeared on August 15th when the Taliban came in. So now you have a situation where you have basically a public health system, now run by the Taliban, which has no money and that was very rundown before the Taliban even came in because of corruption (during the previous government) and a multitude of other things. Now it's just an absolute disaster zone. It's really the regular common Afghans are the ones who suffer from that.
