On April 16, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (OCHA) warned in a new report that Afghanistan is at the highest risk of famine in the last 25 years as funding runs out, reports The Khaama Press News Agency. OCHA further said that Afghanistan faces a massive humanitarian catastrophe unless urgent assistance is obtained, with roughly 20 million suffering from severe hunger and six million just one step away from famine. OCHA noted that only USD 250 million of the USD 4.6 billion in aid sought by this organisation during the first quarter of 2023 was granted.
