The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced that after weeks of blocked access routes in Kamdish and Barg-e-Matal districts of Nuristan province, humanitarian aid distribution to around 17,000 families in these two districts has resumed.<\/p>\n
On Monday, 27 April, the agency stated in a message that the aid operations are being carried out in cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Afghan Red Crescent Society, which operates under Taliban control, to enable families to meet their basic needs and livelihoods.<\/p>\n
The access roads to these two districts were blocked nearly a month ago following military clashes between Taliban forces and Pakistan. The closure of these mountainous routes had left local residents facing shortages of food and essential supplies.<\/p>\n
Nuristan is a mountainous and difficult-to-access province in eastern Afghanistan, with many areas dependent on humanitarian aid due to their challenging geographical conditions. Any military tension and road closures in these regions significantly increase the vulnerability of the local population, highlighting once again the impact of armed conflicts on the lives of civilians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
