Life in Afghanistan Since the Taliban Returned to Power - Stories from Afghanistan’s Hungry Children
August 2023 marks 2 years since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan.

This is the photo essay I developed and wrote for Save the Children International to visually depict the impacts of food crises on children in Afghanistan since the Taliban returned to power. The photo essay reached more than 2M people globally and generated media interest from tier-1 outlets such as The Guardian, Al Jazeera, CNN, and more.
