Afghanistan has been through many decades of civil war and hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in those years of conflict. Now much of the population is facing extreme hunger. The World Bank has warned that more than a third of Afghans no longer have enough money to feed themselves. The country’s economy was dependent on foreign grants that were cut off after the Taliban takeover and there are rising concern over their policies on women and girls. The BBC’s Afghanistan correspondent Secunder Kermani also reports from Kabul and Today’s Martha Kearney speaks to Afghanistan’s former president Hamid Karzai.
