Hundreds queue at Kabul bank amid looming cash crisis in Afghanistan

Hundreds of Afghan locals lined up at a bank in Kabul to withdraw money amid a looming cash crunch in Afghanistan.

Residents were seen gathering outside a bank in the neighbourhood of Mirwais Maidan west of Kabul City on September 15. Cash is still hard to come by despite the reopening of banks after the Taliban takeover on August 15. Financial institutions have imposed a weekly withdrawal cap of 20,000 AFN (roughly 232 USD) per person.
