The World Food Organization (WFP) has announced by publishing a report that war, bad economic conditions and climate change have had an adverse effect on the lives of Afghan citizens and have forced 15 million Afghans to go to bed hungry every night.
In the continuation of this report published on the X social network, it is stated that the World Food Organization was forced to remove two million people in need who are facing hunger from the list of food aid in September of this year. And due to the lack of funds to distribute humanitarian aid, it will also stop its aid to millions of Afghans in need.
This is despite the fact that after imposing restrictions on aid agencies in Afghanistan, international aid has decreased and the number of people in need of humanitarian aid has increased more than ever before.
Reza is one of the peddlers who is responsible for a family of eight people, but due to not having enough income, he is unable to meet the needs of his family.

According to the statistics of international organizations, more than 28 million Afghans need immediate humanitarian aid, but they cannot provide aid to all needy families due to budget cuts.
