Impact on Food Security in Afghanistan<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A new report from the International Food Policy Research Institute reveals that the ongoing attacks from the United States<\/a> and the Israeli regime have severely affected Afghanistan’s food security by disrupting supply chains and critical transit routes. The conflict has caused a staggering increase in transit costs and global fertilizer prices, directly threatening the food security of a nation heavily reliant on imports.<\/p>\n

This research institute warns that the continuation of provocative policies and the ongoing conflict in the region, coupled with diminishing humanitarian aid, is pushing Afghanistan towards an irreversible humanitarian crisis. The skyrocketing prices of essential goods, amidst a significant drop in purchasing power, place millions of families at risk of acute hunger and expose them to the security threats associated with poverty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
