KABUL (Pajhwok): The World Food Programme (WFP) provided food and cash assistance to 7.9 million needy Afghans last month, the world’s largest humanitarian organization said on Wednesday.
With a grim funding outlook preventing it from reaching millions in need, WFP said the assistance to the Afghans was aimed at preventing malnutrition and reaching students with on site and take-home ration support.
In January, WFP reached 7.9 million people through inkind, cash-based transfers and nutritional assistance out of a planned 8.2 million (91 percent of target for the month).
WFP faced several supply chain challenges . . .
