Humanitarian Relief

Afghanistan's economy remains severely impacted by over four decades of conflict. The country, heavily reliant on international aid, is experiencing widespread hunger amidst an escalating humanitarian crisis. Following the collapse of the US-backed government on August 15, 2021, many international aid organizations halted their humanitarian assistance. As a result, over 90% of the population are facing with critical poverty, exacerbating the dire economic situation and increasing the need for urgent humanitarian support.
An estimated 10 million Afghan children face hunger and malnutrition due to poverty caused by continued conflicts. Thousands wait in long queues for food to put a piece of bread on the table for their families. Despite the discontinuation of international funds in Afghanistan, some small-scale NGOs continue their humanitarian assistance.

According to the UN, about 22.8 million people face acute food insecurity all over the country, and 8.7 million are in an emergency level of hunger. Humanitarian aid entails speedy intervention to save lives, alleviation of suffering and help for disaster victims to get back on their feet. We often follow up on our humanitarian activities with development projects to mitigate the impact of the crisis on vulnerable communities. We continuously serve vulnerable communities in need in various provinces of Afghanistan.

The World Food Programme (WFP) reports that it can currently support only 1 million hungry people in Afghanistan, leaving an alarming gap of 11 million individuals who lack access to emergency food assistance due to insufficient funding. Additionally, 1.4 million mothers and children are no longer receiving specialized nutritious food necessary to prevent malnutrition, while malnutrition rates continue to remain critically high across the country.
