GENEVA (TSAT) - The United Nations expressed great concerns over the growing humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and said cashless people selling their children, body parts for survivals.

During an interview with German broadcaster Deutsche Welle, (DW) , the UN Head of World Food Program (WFP) David Basely asked the international community to expedite aid delivery to Afghanistan as over half of the population is starving in the country.

David Basely said that if rich people around the world come forward and donate just their single-day income for the Afghan people, it will end the current crisis in the war-torn country.

He added his organisation urgently need minimum $2.6 billion to provide immediate food assistance to the people this year.

"During this COVID experience, the world's billionaires have made unprecedented money. Over $5.2 billion of net worth increase per day. All we need is one day's worth of their net worth increase to really address our short-term crises,” DW quoted WFP chief as saying.

Currently Afghanistan is facing worst economic and humanitarian crisis after Taliban took over the country last year in August.

Following Taliban took over, the US government frozen its funds that caused huge economic crisis.

According to UN estimate at least 24 million Afghan people currently facing acute food insecurity and more than half of the country population facing famine as currently the country under sever winter and snowfall.

"Afghanistan was already one of the poorest countries in the world, with 20 years, at least, of conflict with the Taliban," he added

"And now what we're facing is catastrophic. The number of people that are knocking on starvation's door is 23 million people out of 40 million people," he added
