Seyed Hamed Amini/ As the winter season approaches, Afghanistan faces serious challenges caused by the increase in fuel prices. This issue is especially worrying for low-income families for whom heating needs have become a major problem. Considering the current economic situation, it is essential that the government and relief organizations take effective measures to support these families.

Increase in prices and its effects
In recent years, the increase in global fuel prices and Afghanistan's dependence on imports from neighboring countries have put a lot of pressure on the people. According to reliable sources, the price of fuel and food in the markets has increased dramatically, and this has a double effect on the daily life of people, especially in the winter season when the demand for heat reaches its peak.

Economic problems of families
This increase in prices especially affects vulnerable families. Many of these families have to turn to wood and coal to keep their homes warm, which itself causes health and environmental problems. Also, the inability to provide enough fuel may lead to more serious problems, including disease and deeper poverty.

The need for immediate support and action
In order to face these challenges, there is a need for governmental and non-governmental institutions to act quickly. Distributing subsidized fuel and creating support programs can help families cope with high fuel costs. Also, increasing public awareness about resource management and optimal use of fuel can be effective in reducing pressures.

conclusion
Winter is coming and considering the current conditions, low-income and needy families need more support. Effective actions by the government and relief organizations can help improve people's living conditions and prevent humanitarian crises in this cold season. It is expected that with collective effort, solutions will be found to meet people's basic needs and hope for a better future will come alive in their hearts.
