Thousands of truck drivers stranded as Afghanistan-Pakistan border closure continues

For nearly three weeks, thousands of truck drivers have been stranded at the Torkham crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan, unable to move their cargo. The prolonged closure has led to millions of dollars in losses, leaving drivers struggling to survive with limited resources. Many are separated from their families during the holy month of Ramadan, adding to their hardship.

One stranded driver shares his experience, describing how he has been making ends meet while waiting for the border to reopen.
