Millions of Afghan people suffer from poverty and unemployment while the US spends over 6 billion dollars every month in the war-torn country, Press TV reports.
Senior officials in Washington say they spend more than six billion dollars of taxpayers' money in Afghanistan every month. However, international bodies and charity groups say Afghanistan still remains one of the poorest countries in the world.
Figures show the money is spent on US soldiers, military operations, as well as civilian and military contractors.
Several charity organizations including Oxfam have repeatedly criticized the US and its NATO allies for failing to tackle the poverty across the war-ravaged country. Insecurity, however, continues to grow across the country, with the Afghan population suffering from poverty and unemployment.
