Disaster

A humanitarian disaster of catastrophic proportions has engulfed the ordinary people of Afghanistan. Up to 8 million people face severe food shortages or starvation. Recent events come against backdrop of 4 years of drought and two decades of war. As the bitter Afghani winter approaches, Islamic Relief’s emergency staff have joined the desperate race to pre-position supplies of food, water, blankets, tents and basic healthcare.
