🚨 A powerful, 6.0 magnitude earthquake hit #Afghanistan on late Sunday, August 31, killing hundreds of people and injuring or otherwise affecting thousands more.
🔴 This disaster is adding to multiple crises leaving millions hungry in the country:
▪️surging malnutrition
▪️forced returnees from Pakistan and Iran
▪️an intensifying drought
▪️a sharp decline in humanitarian aid due to funding constraints
Moreover, some of the affected areas were already grappling with flash floods, and forecasts for the coming days indicate continued severe weather.
📦 WFP is initially delivering high-energy biscuits to communities to communities hit by the earthquake near the border of Pakistan - and dispatching mobile storage units to support the broader emergency response.
