Barred from most aspects of public life, women in #Afghanistan are left with few options to feed themselves and their children. WFP food assistance is their last lifeline.

Women pay the highest price for the assistance cuts in #Afghanistan. More than 1 million mothers and children are no longer receiving nutrition assistance due to a massive funding shortage.

In the recent flash flood in Eastern #Afghanistan, a WFP-supported protection wall saved 3000 families and over 700 acres of agricultural land. Investing in long-term solutions like these, helps families stay on their land, grow food, and feed their children.

In #Afghanistan, millions of women have almost nonexistent opportunities to work and provide for themselves and their families. The shrinking of public spaces has left many dependent on WFP, their last line of support.
