Afghan people struggle to keep warm in the bitter cold winter
The Afghan government is planning to import a million and a half tonnes of oil and gas from its neighbouring oil producers, Iran and Russia, in order to tackle heating issues during the coming winter seasons.
The promise comes amid a bitter cold winter and the Afghan people desperately trying to keep warm using electrical heating and fireplaces - whilst footing unaffordable monthly bills.
Some households have been resorting to three sources of heat and are yet struggling to make it through the winter.
