February 2023 - 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 2023, an estimated 28 million people will require humanitarian assistance due to conflict, chronic food insecurity, displacement, the coronavirus (COVID-19), broad economic crisis, and climatic events. With GAC’s support in humanitarian emergencies, 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 of wheat; and (2) transporting and storing of wheat in Afghanistan.
