124 have frozen to death in Afghanistan
The worst winter cold in ten years is currently affecting Afghanistan.
In the past two weeks, at least 124 people have died, the Taliban regime says BBC.
Many of them live in rural areas, far from healthcare and often in mountainous areas where helicopters cannot land.
Around 70,000 livestock are also said to have died in the cold weather.
Many aid organizations have suspended their activities in the country because the Taliban banned women from working for NGOs.
But despite the many deaths, there are no plans to lift the ban.
– Men from every single family are already working for us in the relief efforts, there is no need for women, says Mohammad Abbas Akhund, Acting Minister for Disaster Management, to the BBC.

Freedom of speech, ok, but when does it cross the line. Hang a lifelike doll, burn book revered by millions.
Is there no legal scope to prosecute them for blasphemy, personal persecution, etc.?
gunner current sheet
The blasphemy law was abolished in 1949.
The Freedom of Religion Act was abolished in 1970 because freedom of expression weighs more heavily.
Unlawful persecution means committing several criminal violations against one and the same person.
The burning of the Koran has been investigated for incitement against a ethnic group, but in Sweden you can express strong disrespect for a religion. It is not the same as expressing it to the believers.
