Afghanistan Displaced Family
Afghanistan: Displaced families selling children, organs to survive
Kabul: Several displaced families, which are currently living in camps in Afghanistan's Balkh province, are currently selling children and their kidneys for funds to survive, media reports said on Sunday.
The displaced families escaped heavy conflict between the Islamic Emirate (Taliban insurgents) and former government forces before the fall of the republican government in the northern provinces of Balkh, Sar-e-Pul, Faryab and Jawzjan, Tolo News reported.
A charity committee is helping displaced families with food and cash aid in order to dissuade them from selling their children and kidneys, the news portal reported.
The price of the children ranged between 100,000 to 150,000 Afs and the price of one kidney is 150,000 to 220,000 Afs.
“We are overwhelmed with problems. No one pays attention to us. We are in deep trouble,” a displaced person told Tolo News.
