KABUL (SW) – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in Afghanistan has announced that it has assisted over 8 million Afghan citizens in the first three months of 2024.
The assistance provided includes food items, cash, and educational services, as WFP stated on its official X account on Sunday.
WFP has repeatedly announced that it requires $657 million to continue its operations in Afghanistan for the next months.
It is while international aid to Afghanistan has fallen short of the required amount, highlighting the urgent need for sustained humanitarian assistance in the country.
Despite efforts to secure funding, only 7.8% of the requested $3.6 billion for lifesaving aid in Afghanistan has been received, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
Lately, OCHA stated the humanitarian aid in Afghanistan has been reduced due to the lack of more funds.
