Economists warn of major food crisis in Afghanistan

As unemployment and poverty take over the families in Afghanistan, economists warned of a major crisis in the country, if necessary steps are not taken immediately to tackle the situation. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification warned of a major reduction in humanitarian food assistance to Afghanistan from 38 per cent to eight per cent, reported Tolo News, citing a report. “At household level, the situation is compounded by the forecasted reduction of humanitarian food assistance after the month of May,” the IPC report said.
