Neil Turner: The Number of People who Needs Humanitarian Assistance has Increased by 30%

In a statement from this office quoted Neil Turner as saying that more than 24 million people in Afghanistan need humanitarian aid to survive.

According to him, due to the persistent drought, the destruction of agricultural lands due to floods, and the inability of farmers to procure seeds and fertilizers, it is expected that less agricultural products will be collected this year.

According to the announcement, Turner added that these problems have increased concerns about people’s access to food in the coming winter. According to the information from Norwegian Refugee Council, 790 hectares of agricultural land were destroyed in last week’s floods.
