November 2022 - Before the Taliban takeover, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan was already one of the worst in the world. Since the Taliban takeover, humanitarian needs have worsened, and the challenging operational context has been further complicated. In 2022, an estimated 24 million people require humanitarian assistance due to conflict, chronic food insecurity, displacement, the coronavirus (COVID-19) and climatic events. With GAC’s support in humanitarian emergencies, the World Food Program (WFP) focuses on providing targeted food assistance to reduce acute malnutrition and food insecurity and protect livelihoods. Project activities include (1) procuring and milling wheat from Ukraine; and (2) transporting and distributing wheat in Afghanistan.
