Half of Afghanistan’s Population Faces Urgent Humanitarian Crisis

Published 11/02/2025

RASC News Agency: The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) have issued a stark warning, stating that half of Afghanistan’s population is in urgent need of humanitarian assistance as living conditions continue to deteriorate at an alarming rate. According to these UN agencies, at least 50% of the Afghanistani population is in dire need of aid. However, due to severe funding shortages, only a fraction of those affected will receive support in 2025. Both organizations have repeatedly cautioned that without immediate intervention, millions of lives could be at risk. The World Food Programme has specifically warned that 15 million Afghanistanis will face acute food insecurity this winter.

To address this looming catastrophe, WFP has initiated food distribution efforts in remote and inaccessible regions, where severe winter conditions, including heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures, have made humanitarian access extremely challenging. WFP has reaffirmed its commitment to aiding vulnerable communities, stressing that over three-quarters of Afghanistanis are unable to afford a nutritious and balanced diet due to the crippling economic crisis. This, in turn, has led to a sharp rise in malnutrition, particularly among children and pregnant women. Meanwhile, OCHA has previously reported that 23 million Afghanistanis require humanitarian aid, yet ongoing financial constraints will limit assistance to only half of those in need throughout 2025.

Since the Taliban’s return to power, Afghanistan has experienced unprecedented levels of poverty and unemployment. The group has failed to implement effective economic policies or provide any substantial support to its citizens, plunging the country into a deepening humanitarian catastrophe with no clear path to recovery.
