WFP assisted over 15 million people, but many could go hungry as funding dries up

The World Food Programme (WFP) in Afghanistan has reached more than 15 million people suffering from acute food insecurity since the beginning of this year but fears millions could go hungry as funding dries up.

WFP said in a report on June 25 that the agency’s food assistance helped 15.3 million people believed to be acutely food-insecure since 2023, including 2.8 million people in need of emergency.
