The World Food Programme has recently stated that severe budget cuts have significantly disrupted its aid efforts in Afghanistan, and the hunger crisis in the country is worsening.
In a published report, the organization noted that last year, over 12.4 million people in Afghanistan received nutritional assistance; however, the reduction in financial resources has resulted in many needy families being excluded from the aid list.
The World Food Programme further warned that a halt or further reduction in aid could push more children and mothers into acute malnutrition and make families more vulnerable to economic and climate shocks.
The report highlighted that in many areas of Afghanistan, families are facing severe difficulties in securing their daily food needs, and many do not have any source of income.
