Lack of funding forces UN to cut food aid in Afghanistan

Season 2023 Episode 260 | 4m 28s

The United Nations World Food Programme has announced a lack of funding is forcing it to stop feeding some of the most vulnerable people in Afghanistan. The organization is scaling back just as hunger is rising to record levels with some 15 million Afghans, more than a third of the country, struggling to find their next meal. Nick Schifrin reports.

Major corporate funding for the PBS News Hour is provided by BDO, BNSF, Consumer Cellular, American Cruise Lines, and Raymond James. Funding for the PBS NewsHour Weekend is provided by Consumer Cellular and Cunard Cruise Line. For a complete list of funders for the PBS NewsHour and PBS NewsHour weekend, click here.
