A waiting ticket guaranteeing a spot in the Azizi bank’s cash withdrawal queues. The collapse of the banking sector has left many Afghans unable to access their money. Every day, the Azizi bank faces queues stretching in front of its building from early morning hours. The crowd is managed through a ticketing system, put in place to ensure everyone keeps their place in the line. International restrictions have prevented the Afghan central bank from using its frozen foreign funds, which led to a limited availability of cash in the country, forcing the banks to introduce weekly limits on withdrawals.
