The Taliban government has been distributing wheat to muncipality employees as wages since they don't have a cash flow to pay for salaries. The Taliban government on 17 November 2021, issued an open letter to the United States Congress asking it to end sanctions against Afghanistan, resume the flow of aid and unfreeze assets in Afghan banks, in the view of the ongoing crisis in the country. Afghanistan has been experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis as people have no job or income and many were forced to sell their belongings for food. Banks have resumed operations with limited cash flow. EPA/MAXIM SHIPENKOV
