Meanwhile, the United Nations World Food Program announced that Afghanistan is currently one of the 10 countries in the world with more than one million people at the emergency level of hunger.
This institution has said that Sudan, Afghanistan and the Republic of Congo are three countries that have more people at the level of emergency hunger than other countries in the world.
On the other hand, the new report of the World Food Program (WFP) shows that 15 million and 300 thousand people in Afghanistan were in severe food insecurity from May to October of this year.
