After being cut off by conflict for weeks, around 17,000 families in Kamdesh and Barg‑e‑Matal districts of Nuristan Province, #Afghanistan, are now receiving food assistance.
WFP, together with @ICRC_af and @ARCSAfghanistan, is working to ensure families can meet their most basic needs.
Across four provinces in #Afghanistan’s Eastern Region, WFP's resilience support is taking root.
These long‑term initiatives are helping families restore their land, rebuild their incomes, and strengthen their future.
