Days after a mass poisoning incident in the Wali Asr township in western Kabul, the cause remains unidentified. Residents of Dasht-e-Barchi say the poisoning stems from contaminated water supplied by tanker trucks, sending entire families to the hospital. The Taliban's Ministry of Public Health has not responded to media inquiries.
Doctors report that most patients are children under ten years old, with dozens being admitted daily. Symptoms include severe headaches, nausea, and diarrhea. A nurse at the local hospital said they are receiving around 35 patients per day and described the situation as very serious.
Residents say the incident has spread fear and anxiety across the Hazara-populated district of Kabul. Some describe it as an "unknown illness." Physicians stress that identifying the exact cause requires urgent investigation by responsible health authorities.
