Many people are losing their lives every day due to the horrors of war all over the world. The same is happening in Afghanistan. On top of that, severe drought has started again in the country. All in all, getting food for two days has become an impossible task for the residents there. Many are flocking to refugee camps for a little food and shelter. But food is not available there either. A woman named Mamarin, who took shelter in a refugee camp without being able to feed her children, was forced to sell her 6-year-old daughter!
In an investigative report of the American media, the tragic life story of the woman in war-torn Afghanistan has emerged. A heartbreaking story has emerged of parents forced to sell their children to support family members due to an unexpected severe drought in a town in western Afghanistan.
According to the CNN report, they have spoken to many parents like Mamarin. The extreme poverty of the country has already come up. They got various information from talking to people who took refuge in refugee camps for a handful of food.
Mamarin did not sell her 6-year-old daughter very easily. Mamarin lost her husband and family in the war. After that Mamarin went from door to door for two handfuls of food. Still, he did not find a place anywhere. Finally took refuge in a refugee camp. Even though he went there, he could not get a little food for the hungry children.
In the end, he sold his 6-year-old daughter Akila for 3 thousand dollars to Najmuddin of the refugee camp there. Najmuddin also assured Mamarin that he will marry Akila with his 10-year-old son.
In response to the question why did he sell his child, Mamarin said, 'I don't have any money. There is no food, my husband also died in the war. Meanwhile, the drought has started. So I left the village with 3 children and moved here. I came here to get help. But I got nothing. So instead of starving to death with the child, I sold Akila to a person for 3 thousand dollars.'
Note that according to the United Nations, at least 275,000 people left their homes in Afghanistan in 2018 due to severe drought. Among them, 84 thousand from the western city of Herat and 1 lakh 82 thousand from Badgish. The United Nations said that even in the ongoing violence in the country, so many people have not been made homeless.
