Description
Kabul residents head to a livestock market to buy animals for the ritual sacrifice performed on Eid al-Adha. The Muslim holiday will be celebrated on Wednesday in Afghanistan, as the country's economy, already battered by decades of war, has been mired in crisis after billions of dollars in international aid were cut following the Taliban government's takeover in August 2021. Economic output has collapsed and nearly 85 percent of the country lives in poverty, according to the latest report from the United Nations Development Programme. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
