Afghanistan's banks and ATMs remain closed for seventh consecutive days. Afghans are increasingly scared they may run out of money, as banks remain shut for the seventh day in Afghanistan. 

Banks and cash machines in Afghanistan stay closed in a row for a week. There is no cash inside the machines, no operational banks, and no Western Union offices. With these closed, it's now near impossible to send money into the country. People say they are running out of funds and anxiety is growing across the capital and other cities. Pen Farthing, an ex-marine who now runs an animal rescue center in Kabul, said he can't pay his staff and people are running out of food. 

On the micro-blogging site, Twitter people are commenting "For now I want food for my 3 children. We had bread today with sweet tea. Gas is too expensive, all banks closed, other foodstuff shortage in Kabul stores, can't find mobile top-up - and also afraid for our lives."
