The organization urgently requires $555 million to sustain its activities over the next six months. Without this support, essential programs, including emergency food aid, nutrition treatment, and vocational training for women, are at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the most vulnerable are 1.2 million pregnant and breastfeeding women suffering from malnutrition, highlighting the need for immediate intervention. Currently, one-third of Afghanistan&#8217;s population relies on emergency food assistance to survive, reflecting the country&#8217;s ongoing food insecurity crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WFP&#8217;s call for financial support is crucial to alleviate hunger and combat the long-term effects of malnutrition. As the situation remains critical, the organization urges international donors to contribute to sustaining life-saving programs in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Food Programme (WFP) reported providing life-saving assistance to over 9 million people in Afghanistan last year, emphasizing the urgent need for continued funding, Khaama Press reported.
