WFP provides cash assistance to 4 million people in Afghanistan this year

The World Food Program said almost four million needy people in Afghanistan have received cash assistance from the UN agency so far this year.

In a post on X, WFP said about half of the recipients were women.

The amount of cash donated to these individuals has not been disclosed.

However, the World Food Program says the cash will enable people to spend it on what their families need most.

The World Food Program announced in August that at least 12 million Afghans do not know where their next meal will come from and that four million infants and pregnant women are malnourished.

The organization said last week that many Afghan children survive on only bread and tea.
