A drop in donor funding could push parts of Afghanistan into famine this year, the World Food Programme said, adding that up to 9 million Afghans could be left without food aid after it had already had to slash rations
A huge humanitarian aid package after the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 2021 - leading to foreign governments cutting development funding and imposing sanctions - helped avert a widespread famine then, but now those fears are rising again.
The WFP comments are one of the first concrete signs after international officials warned that growing global emergencies and challenging economic conditions, combined with Taliban restrictions on women, could lead donors to pull back. "Against the backdrop of the ban, partners are continuing to review their funding to operations in Afghanistan and there could be a decline in funding," she said.
