One of the twins was sold for less than Rs 8,000 due to severe hunger. A 40-year-old woman from North Jawjan province has given a baby to a childless couple in exchange for $ 104.
Here is what happened: When he heard the babies crying uncontrollably, he approached a childless couple and told them they could buy the baby for Rs 7,882.43. At first she refused, but then for several days the baby’s crying and hunger did not subside and she gave it to the couple.
Her husband and second son were employed before the Afghan economy collapsed. But with the onset of winter, more than half of Afghanistan’s population is starving. This plight was exposed by Save the Children. Save the Children supplies food to those in need in Afghanistan. While talking to them, she described her miserable condition. The children could not even be given the food they needed. The husband has no job. It was this poverty that led us to sell the baby. This condition is more severe and painful than you think.
Save the Children provided emergency assistance to the family. Winter, malnutrition and poverty are plaguing the Afghan people. Breastfeeding mothers do not even have breast milk. Save the Children has asked the government to provide immediate assistance to them.
