Hundreds of Afghans have protested outside a bank in Kabul and others formed long queues at cash machines as a UN agency warned a worsening drought could leave millions of people in need of humanitarian aid.

At Kabul airport, thousands of people are still gathering in the hope of fleeing the country, even after a suicide attack on Thursday killed 169 Afghans and 13 US service members and warnings over further attacks.
