Afghanistan: At least 124 people are killed by the Freezing weather  

• According to Taliban officials, at least 124 individuals have died in Afghanistan’s cold temperatures.
• The coldest winter in ten years has also claimed almost 70,000 cattle life.
• Afghanistan’s winters are always harsh, but this year has seen its worst weather in ten years.

According to Taliban officials, at least 124 individuals have died in Afghanistan’s cold temperatures during the previous two weeks.

The coldest winter in ten years has also claimed almost 70,000 cattle life, according to a representative for the State Ministry for Disaster Management.

Following the Taliban’s restriction on Afghan women working for non-governmental organizations, a number of assistance organizations have recently halted operations.

A Taliban minister declared that the edict will remain in place despite the killings.

According to the news, many districts of Afghanistan are currently entirely shut off by snow. Military helicopters had been dispatched to the rescue, but they were unable to land in the most mountainous locations.

The prediction for the following 10 days, according to the acting minister, showed that temperatures will rise. However, he continued to be concerned about an increasing death toll among Afghans and their livestock.

“Most of the people who lost their lives to the cold were shepherds or people living in rural areas. They didn’t have access to healthcare,” Mullah Akhund said.

“We’re concerned about those who are still living in the mountain regions. Most of the roads which pass through the mountains have been closed due to snow. Cars have got stuck there and passengers have died in the freezing temperatures.”

Afghanistan’s winters are always harsh, but this year has seen its worst weather in ten years.

Additionally, the Taliban government’s decree last month forbidding Afghan women from working for charity organizations is hampering this year’s relief efforts.

However, Mullah Akhund was very specific. He argued that the world community had to embrace Afghanistan’s Islamic culture and that this decree could not be overturned.

“There is no need for women to join us in the rescue effort because guys are already helping. There is no need for women because every family’s male members are already contributing to relief operations “He delivered the news.

Officials in charge of providing aid, such as the United Nations, are desperately looking for ways to circumvent this restriction.
