“162 people have died due to cold weather since January 10 until now.'
More than 160 people have died from the cold in Afghanistan this month in the worst winter in more than a decade, authorities said on Thursday, as residents described being unable to afford fuel to heat homes in temperatures well below freezing.
The coldest winter in 15 years, which has seen temperatures dip as low as -34 degrees Celsius , has hit Afghanistan in the middle of a severe economic crisis. In a snowy field in the west of the Afghan capital, children rummaged through rubbish looking for plastic to burn to help their families, unable to afford wood or coal.
“This year, the weather is extremely cold and we couldn’t buy coal for ourselves,” he said, adding the small amount he makes from his shop was no longer enough for fuel.
