Afghanistan Faces Food Shortages in Wake of Drought, Conflict
Eighty percent of rural families in Afghanistan have less than a month's supply of food. These communities used to make their livings from farming, putting aside provisions to see them through the long, harsh winter. Drought caused crop failure. The global food crisis and the pressures of conflict conspired to drive up food prices 167 percent in the last year, meaning 450,000 households across the country can no longer afford to buy food. ActionAid is on the ground, providing emergency food and water to communities while pushing for changes that will put an end to hunger for good.
