KABUL (Pajhwok): The European Union humanitarian aid agency and FAO will be partnering to anticipate the expected impacts of
La Niña induced drought conditions on livestock production and food security in Afghanistan, according to a statement on Tuesday.
This will mitigate the risks for some of the most vulnerable and food insecure people to slide into acute hunger and displacement.
“Based on the weather forecast for the upcoming months and the already evident signs of drought conditions in many areas across the country, we need to protect the most vulnerable rural people to meet their most basic needs and safeguard their livelihoods,” said Luigi Pandolfi, who oversees EU humanitarian programmes in Afghanistan.
