The UNs World Food Program (WFP) in Afghanistan has announced the possible suspension of its air services in the country due to a severe shortage of funding.WFP is one of the largest humanitarian organizations in Afghanistan and the air services have played a vital role in transporting humanitarian aid, especially to areas difficult to reach by land.In a message posted on X, the WFP explained that in the past, when roads were blocked, air services were the only way to deliver aid to remote areas of Afghanistan.
This aid included food, medicine, and other essential items that are essential for the survival of millions of people in need in Afghanistan.According to WFP, the organization urgently needs $10.5 million in funding to continue its relief flights in 2025.In addition, the WFP stated that humanitarian needs in Afghanistan continue to increase and  millions of people across the country are dependent on humanitarian assistance.WFP stated that if air services are stopped, it will become very difficult, if not impossible, to deliver vital aid to areas that are not accessible by road.The post WFP air services in Afghanistan may be suspended due to funding crisis first appeared on TINS News.
