People are fleeing in search of food, freedom, and safety resulting from the economic and humanitarian catastrophe caused by 20 years of US occupation. In my home country of Afghanistan, winter is harsh and children are hungry. Almost every parent faces the \_31\_ of not having enough food to feed his/her family. Across the country, 5 million children are on the brink of famine. Many young people are in despair; suicide is \_32\_. After 20 years of US occupation, my country has been left in \_33\_. The US and its allies did nothing to develop Afghanistan. We were made into a dependency, relying on flows of humanitarian aid rather than building our own economic capacities. The evidence? Our current economic collapse and the followed humanitarian catastrophe. Biden may have withdrawn the US military, but he has refused responsibility for America's \_34\_ in our country. \_35\_, he has added great insults to profound injury by stealing our scarce financial resources. His actions will make the bread queues longer and the number of children dying of painful hunger greater. This crime against humanity should never be forgotten.
