The World Food Program (WFP) has sounded the alarm over the worsening humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, where millions are in desperate need of assistance.
In a statement posted on X on Tuesday, WFP highlighted the grave choices many Afghans families face, such as deciding between feeding their children or keeping them warm during the harsh winter months.
Expressing concern about the country’s economic turmoil, the organization has urgently appealed for international support.
The WFP estimates that $718 million is needed over the next six months to provide life-saving assistance to vulnerable populations.
The UN agency also revealed that over five million Afghans are living in extreme food insecurity, uncertain of when or where their next meal will come from.
