A family of humans was forced to eat grass. Due to not getting food for a long time, these people were forced to eat grass. The body was in bad condition due to hunger and then due to eating grass, their intestines started getting spoiled. This tragic true story is of a family from Afghanistan.
The people of Afghanistan are facing the worst drought in 27 years. A large population is facing a food crisis.
Drought has broken the back of people’s employment. At the same time, the creaking economy and rising food prices are also important reasons behind the bad situation.
According to the report of ‘Guardian’, an area there was once famous as almond orchards. But, now the people here are living their life in failure. Maher (name changed) also lives in the same area. Maher told that many times it happened that when we had to eat grass.
There are 6 people in Maher’s family. Have a son Rahim. His wife and second son are currently in the hospital.
Maher told that life has become very difficult due to the drought. Many times we did not have any choice, so we had to eat grass in compulsion.
His wife and son are admitted to the hospital due to eating grass. The doctor told that the intestines of both have been damaged. Maher said that he prays every day so that both can get well soon.
Maher said that we also used to cultivate almonds but due to drought many acres of agriculture got ruined. However, this family has got a lot of help. Now this family eats roti twice a day.
Farhana (name changed) is also facing food crisis like Maher’s family. She lives with her two children. One daughter’s name is Husna. He told that edible oil has become double the price compared to last year.
Ali (name changed) is a labourer. He said that when work is found, then 250 rupees are received as daily wage. When work is not available, they work as garbage collectors. With this, you can earn only 80 to 150 rupees in a whole day.
Ali has three twins, but he is unable to send anyone to school. There are crores of children in Afghanistan who are not able to get education.
