KABUL, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- Peace has returned to Afghanistan, however, the economic situation has worsened due to the U.S. sanctions.
Following the U.S. military pullout from Afghanistan and the Taliban's takeover of the country, Washington reportedly has frozen more than 9 billion U.S. dollars of Afghanistan's central bank.
Soaring prices and rising inflations are triggering great concerns, with food and other life-saving aid running out.
