00:00As Muslims in Afghanistan began observing the holy month of Ramadan on Wednesday, many
00:06families are struggling to afford basic food items amid soaring prices, with staples like
00:12cooking oil, rice and flour increasingly out of reach for a population already grappling
00:18with widespread poverty and unemployment.
00:30A lot of people say it's 6,000, a lot of people say it's 4,000, we don't have any
00:35We don't understand what drink is, what is great.
00:38It's a bad price.
00:41We don't understand anything, we don't understand anything.
00:45I want our brothers in the day, if we come to Ramadan, they will give us a message for Muslims.
00:55We will not be able to do this, or not to do this, or not to do it.
00:59...and they are there.
01:00They are there.
01:04They are there.
01:06They have to try and help.
01:06Muslims must be able to help them.
01:08If they want to help them,
01:10they will help them to help them.
01:17It was a blessing.
01:19God bless you.
01:22God bless you.
01:27God bless you.
01:40Afghanistan's economy remains extremely fragile, strained by sanctions, high unemployment and
01:47reduced humanitarian aid, all of which have sharply weakened household purchasing power.
01:52As a result, millions of Afghans live in poverty and depend heavily on aid. During Ramadan, Muslims
02:00across the world fast, abstaining from eating, drinking and smoking between sunrise and sunset
02:07as a sacrifice to God.
