WFP is running out of money to provide assistance to the people of Afghanistan

The World Food Program (WFP) is running out of money to provide food assistance to Afghanistan. The organization’s country director for Afghanistan, Hsiao-Wei Lee, told Reuters that the WFP’s budget for food aid will end by the end of October.

Currently, the WFP is only able to provide food assistance to 5 million people in Afghanistan. Lee said that the WFP needs $1 billion in funding to continue providing food assistance to the country’s 15 million vulnerable people.
