Afghanstan is facing economic collapse and famine.  After its economy was distorted by massive foreign aid for years, causing millions to migrate to cities, it is now experiencing a sudden shock. 

The United States, seeking to punish the Taliban for their takeover in Afghanistan, is using its power to freeze critical aid and funds  -- including the funds owned by the Afghanistan Central Bank. Humanitarian relief providers and human rights groups are calling on the U.S. to end this practice as the economy in Afghanistan crumbles and many Afghans go hungry.
