Afghanistan Starves: Millions Face Famine, UN Seeks Urgent Aid
The World Food Programme (WFP) has issued a stark warning about the worsening hunger crisis in Afghanistan. They require a staggering $539 million to provide crucial food assistance to millions facing severe food insecurity.
The crisis disproportionately impacts women and children. A horrifying 3.5 million Afghan children are currently suffering from malnutrition.
Ten million people – a significant portion of the population – now depend entirely on humanitarian aid for survival. This underscores the urgent need for immediate and substantial international support.
The situation, as reported by Khaama Press on August 4, 2025, demands an immediate and concerted global response. Failure to act decisively will have catastrophic consequences for Afghanistan’s most vulnerable, potentially triggering a wider regional humanitarian disaster and impacting India’s strategic interests in the region.
