UN: 14 Million Face Food Crisis in Afghanistan
The United Nations World Food Programme warns of an worsening hunger crisis in Afghanistan, where around 14 million people are experiencing severe food insecurity, with record levels of malnutrition among children in 12 provinces. One in three Afghans suffers from severe hunger, while food assistance is reaching only one in nine of those in need due to a lack of humanitarian funding. Conflicts, rising unemployment, increasing food prices, supply chain disruptions, and declining funding have all exacerbated the crisis, with children under the age of two being particularly affected. The program urgently needs $500 million before winter to meet immediate food needs, warning that death rates could rise if funding shortages continue.
