International Committee of the Red Cross stated, highlighting the increasing need for humanitarian aid in the country.Millions of people
have reportedly been forced to scavenge for food on the streets in the country which is also why the ICRC has appealed to the international
community to ramp up assistance to the people of Afghanistan, Khaama Press reported.In the wake of an excessive surge in food insecurity in
Afghanistan, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has provided aid to 38 percent of Afghans to help them avoid the
