“The numbers speak for themselves. Because of continuing drought and the economic implosion, by the end of the year 55 percent, that’s to say more than one out of every two Afghan men, women and children will be facing acute food insecurity: that’s hunger on a daily basis. 
But as they have done many times in the past, Afghanistan’s incredible farmers, livestock owners and herders can bring back Afghanistan from the brink of catastrophe.
And that’s why it is so important that FAO, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, is able to continue providing farmers, livestock owners and herders with seeds, particularly wheat seeds, fertilizer, animal feed. Afghanistan’s people need this and urgently.”
