157-afghans-frozen-to-death

Afghanistan is facing lows of -34C (-29.2F) and disruptions to the power grid, food supply.

At least 157 people, likely many more, have now frozen-to-death across the South Asian nation, a Taliban official confirmed, as millions face bitter, record-breaking temperatures amid failing electricity infrastructure.

Lows of -34C are far below the nationwide winter average, which stands at between 0C and 5C (32F and 41F).

The United Nations is busy sticking its oar in and drumming-up more funding–I mean ‘helping’, claiming on Twitter to have delivered aid such as blankets, heating and shelter to some 565,700 people: “But much more is needed amid one of the coldest spells in years,” the agency added.
