Many people in Afghan are jobless, and they are struggling to feed their children. According to the local people of Afghanistan, he had no choice but to sell his kidney- one of a high number of Afghans willing to sacrifice their organs to save their families.

The practice has become so widespread in the western city of Herat that a nearby settlement is bleakly nicknamed “one-kidney village”.

According to Nooruddin, I need to do it to save my family and children.

“I was left with no other option.”

Most of the Afghanistan people were plunged into financial crisis following the Taliban takeover six months ago; tensed are already bad humanitarian situation after 20 years of war and the United States occupation.

As per the United Nations, more than half of the country’s 38 million population suffers from sharp hunger, with nearly 9 million Afghans at risk of famine.

Some foreigners help that they supported the country has been slow to return in the wake of US sanctions. The administration is on the edge of collapse after international financial institutions cut funding and the US froze Afghanistan assets.

Some aid agencies and experts have been called for lifting sanctions against the Taliban and saying the steps are worsening the humanitarian crisis.

This crisis affected the Afghanistan people badly, according to Nooruddin, 32, who quit his job as a factory when his salary was cut to 3,000 Afghans soon after the Taliban’s return, mistakenly believing he would find something better.

But, with hundreds of thousands of people who don’t have jobs across the country, nothing else was available.

In despair, he sold a kidney as a short-term fix.

He stated that I regret it now outside his home, where light clothes swing from a tree, and a plastic sheet serves as a windowpane.

I can’t be able to work anymore because it is difficult for me to lift anything heavy.

His family now depends for money on his 12-year-old son, who polishes shoes for 70 cents a day.
