"VAN" (International Desk - 25.03.2024) :: The World Food Programme (WFP) of the United Nations has recently announced that six million people in Afghanistan received aid over the past month.
In a press release on Saturday, March 23, the agency stated that the World Food Programme has provided cash and food assistance to over six million people in Afghanistan.
According to the press release, the aid has been provided to meet the needs of beneficiaries in delivering meals to their children.
The program added that it has been able to provide this assistance with the help of financial support from some private donors and cooperating countries.
This comes as the World Food Programme had previously stated that economic challenges and humanitarian crises in Afghanistan have increased the demand for food aid.
Amid a dire humanitarian crisis, Afghan refugees are returning from Pakistan in significant numbers. The deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, including ongoing conflict and economic instability, has prompted many refugees to seek repatriation despite the uncertain conditions awaiting them.
As these refugees return, they face immense challenges, including limited access to basic necessities such as food, shelter, and healthcare. The international community is urged to provide urgent assistance to support the resettlement and reintegration efforts for returning Afghan refugees, ensuring their safety and well-being amidst the ongoing crisis in their homeland.
