The ongoing attacks by the United States and Israel against Iran have disrupted supply chains and strategic routes, such as the Strait of Hormuz, leading to an unprecedented surge in food prices in Afghanistan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A new report from the International Food Policy Research Institute highlights how the hostilities by the U.S. and Israel have directly affected food security in Afghanistan, which heavily relies on imports. These conflicts have driven transit costs and global fertilizer prices to alarming levels, severely impacting the nation\u2019s ability to ensure food availability. The Winter Crisis<\/a> report elaborates on the severe food insecurity faced by millions of Afghans.<\/p>\n

The research body warns that the persistent atmosphere of tension and warfare in the region, coupled with a decline in humanitarian aid, could push the existing humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan beyond a point of no return. The rising costs of essential goods, paired with a drastic decrease in purchasing power, put millions of families at risk of acute hunger and expose them to security threats stemming from poverty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
