Afghans in desperate need of humanitarian aid

BBC World Service - Newshour, Afghans in desperate need of humanitarian aid

Today marks 100 days since the Taliban took over in Afghanistan

Since the Taliban took power in mid-August, the financial aid on which the country depends was frozen. Donor countries don’t want to legitimise Taliban rule, but Afghan citizens are experiencing real agony on the ground. Aid agencies are demanding emergency intervention.  

Also in the programme: Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed vows to lead from the battle front; and dozens are killed in a bus crash in Bulgarian motorway.
