El Programa Mundial de Alimentos anuncia la distribución de ayuda en efectivo para más de diez millones de personas en Afganistán

WFP is providing emergency assistance to families affected by the 22 June earthquake that hit the south-eastern provinces of Paktika and Khost and has teams on the ground assessing humanitarian needs among earthquake-hit families. WFP immediately dispatched a convoy of 18 trucks carrying High Energy Biscuits (HEBs), oil, wheat flour and has continued to route emergency assistance to affected areas. To help overcome logistics challenges, WFP has set up three Mobile Storage Units to help humanitarian responders warehouse vital emergencies supplies and equipment. WFP - together with humanitarian partners - is conducting vulnerability assessments in the rugged and remote areas hit by the earthquake in Khost and Paktika provinces to assess the damage – which is believed to be significant with thousands of homes flattened - and identify the needs of the affected communities.
