Beggars could be seen in Jalalabad on Saturday as a looming economic crisis continues to threaten the country.
“This is our situation. Due to my helplessness, I came to collect beg, I’m a disabled man too, my children want me to bring food for them. I have a big family,” said one beggar.
Markets mainly appeared empty, with a meager presence of buyers.
“For one and half months I came to the city to find work, but still I didn’t earn money, all my children are hungry, even if people give me donations I want, I don’t have food in my home,” said another unemployed man.

SOT, Ajab Gul, Labourer (Pashto): “We are concerned about our future and what will happen next, as you all know there are many people who are jobless, life has gotten so bad.”
