The Afghan people are living in a protracted and severe humanitarian crisis. Almost everyone lacks basic services like safe drinking water, health care and education. Now, an acute food shortage is threatening the lives of many Afghans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flooding and landslides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In these conditions, farmers cannot produce enough grain, increasing the dependency on imports to meet food demand. However, since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the wheat supply has become very uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
