Ghazni: Aid trickled into Ghazni on Sunday, residents and relief workers said, days after forces pushed Taliban militants from the eastern Afghan city following nearly a week of heavy fighting.
Residents suffered food and water shortages along with rising prices for basic provisions after insurgents overran the city, torching buildings and destroying infrastructure in a battle that killed hundreds of people.
“We need this aid to survive,” said Gul Badshah, one of many in Ghaznis who made their way to distribution centres on Sunday, who said his home had been destroyed by two rockets during the onslaught. —Agencies
