Background Information
Since the political shift in August 2021, Afghanistan has been severely affected by a protracted drought, severe hunger, and extreme poverty. It appeared that a famine might break out in Afghanistan by year's end. A startling 55% of people were categorized as having emergency or crisis levels of food insecurity. By May 2024, two and a half years later, this percentage had dropped to 28 percent. Although this represents one of the worst food crises globally with 12.4 million people, very few Afghans have died from starvation in recent years. This is among the sharpest drops in acute food insecurity in recent memory. It contrasts with the increasingly typical situation in which a severe food shock quickly turns into a protracted crisis of food insecurity that frequently lasts more than ten years.
