Hundreds of vulnerable families in Paktia province have been given essential food supplies, thanks to one of Afghanistan’s leading charity organizations, the Bayat Foundation.

As part of its ongoing campaign to provide as much food aid to as many people as possible, the foundation has delivered its latest consignment of food packages that include flour, rice, and cooking oil.

Bayat Foundation officials stated they had so far distributed food supplies to the most at-risk families in Kabul, Nangarhar, Ghazni, Kunduz, Kandahar, Bamiyan, Herat, Balkh, and Khost provinces.

Haji Mohammad Ismail, Deputy Head of the Bayat Foundation, stated that the food parcels were distributed to deserving and displaced people who were identified by the foundation’s team in the province.

Haji Ismail added that the Bayat Foundation continues to distribute essential assistance to other provinces.

Recipients expressed their gratitude and thanked the foundation.

“We want their (Bayat Foundation) attention to providing further assistance to desperate people, I am very grateful to the Bayat Foundation,” one of the recipients said.

The foundation carries out an annual winter campaign, providing thousands of people with much-needed assistance when temperatures drop to well below freezing.

However, given the expanding humanitarian crisis in the country this year, the Bayat Foundation has ramped up its efforts to get as much aid as possible to hungry families.
