Who will save Afghans from hunger?

"UN warns 17 million people in Afghanistan face acute food insecurity. Devastated by decades of war and instability, Afghanistan is facing a multitude of crises. Since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, it's been subjected to international sanctions. Now, once again, Afghanistan is facing a severe humanitarian crisis. The World Food Programme says it's unable to provide assistance to millions of Afghans."

"The World Food Programme says it's unable to provide assistance to millions of Afghans. It's the result of drastic cuts in aid funding by international donors. The situation is compounded by the ongoing forced deportation of millions of Afghans from Pakistan and Iran. So, how will these overlapping crises shape the future of the country and its people?
