The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has appealed for $603 million to provide winter assistance to over 300 vulnerable Afghan villages.
With 171 high-priority districts and 227 medium-priority areas identified, OCHA stresses the urgent need for food and basic supplies by early 2025.
The organization also revealed a $2.3 billion shortfall in Afghanistan’s 2024 humanitarian budget, as over 23 million people are in need of aid, and only 25% of the required funds have been received.
