Afghan vendors sell bread on a roadside in Kabul, Afghanistan, 12 September 2023. The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced that it will have to cut off another two million hungry people from food assistance in Afghanistan due to a lack of funding. This means that a total of ten million people will be without WFP support this year, leaving only a fifth of the 15 million people in need with access to food assistance. The cuts are expected to worsen the already worrying levels of hunger and malnutrition in the country. The WFP is calling for USD one billion in funding over the next six months to reach 21 million people with life-saving food and nutrition assistance. (Photo by Samiullah Popal/EPA/EFE)
