Highlights
• Continued flooding in northern and western Afghanistan, exacerbated by unseasonably high rainfall and melting snow, has caused further damage to infrastructure, hindering humanitarian aid delivery.
• Pakistan's expulsion of over 150,000 Afghan migrants this year alone has further strained Afghanistan's already overburdened services.
• To address these challenges, WFP requires US$1.6 billion this year to deliver emergency food, nutrition, and livelihood support to those most in need.
