A month after the fall of Kabul, the Taliban faces a humanitarian crisis.

Difficult issues for the organization as it attempts to turn their quick military win into a long-lasting peacetime government.

A month after conquering Kabul, the Taliban is confronted with tremendous challenges as it attempts to transform its rapid military success into a long-term peacetime governance.

Despite hundreds of billions of dollars in development expenditure over the last 20 years, Afghanistan's economy is in ruins after four decades of war and the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

Drought and famine are driving millions of Afghans to the cities, and the World Food Programme is concerned that its food supplies may run out by the end of the month, putting the 14 million food-insecure Afghans to the edge of starvation.

While much emphasis has been focused in the West on whether the new Taliban government will maintain its vows to defend women's rights and to reject terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda, for many Afghans, the greatest objective is simply survival.
