BAZAR: Food Security Discussed

David Beasley, Executive Director of World Food Program (WFP) has said that currently about 40 percent of the population in Afghanistan has no food security.

Referring to the UN’s concerns about the rising number of people suffering from hunger, WFP officials said that over the past three years, four million more people now face a lack of food security, bringing the total number to 13 million out of about 30 million in the country. 

“Now we have 30 million people, the amount of  money to address (the problem for) eight million is a huge number,” Beasley said.

According to WFP, from the figure, eight million people are facing a serious risk of hunger. They called on the Afghan government, private sector and the international community to step up efforts to overcome this challenge.
