Nine out of ten people in Afghanistan face a lack of food: WFP
The World Food Program (WFP) says it has helped more than 19 million people in Afghanistan since the beginning of this year.
According to WFP it helps people across Afghanistan every day.
The World Food Program has said that for each needy family, 100 kgs of flour, 12.5 kgs of daal, 9.2 kgs of rice and one kg of salt will be given to them for six months.
Meanwhile, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has also said that this office has distributed cash aid to 296,000 people during the current year in order to meet urgent needs in Afghanistan.
In addition to cash aid, the organization has distributed household appliances, solar and sanitary items to those in need.
UNHCR has said that in order to reach people in need, it has started a survey to determine the number of vulnerable people in Afghanistan.
According to a source, this year they visited 135,000 people in their homes, as a result of which 1,900 families were assured of receiving aid.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has also said that this organization has helped refugees in Afghanistan in various fields such as building schools, health centers and providing clean drinking water.
On the other hand, statistics from relief organizations show that this year, malnutrition threatens the lives of nearly five million children and pregnant and lactating women in Afghanistan, and currently 3.9 million children are suffering from malnutrition.
Last year, after the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), came to power, aid organizations and countries stopped financial aid to Afghanistan, which led to a humanitarian and economic crisis in the country.
Recently, the World Food Program said that more than 24 million people in Afghanistan are food insecure and more than 90% of Afghans need food aid.
Meanwhile, the head of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) office says that the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan has increased by 30 percent compared to last year.
A statement from this office quoted Neil Turner, NRC country director for Afghanistan, as saying that more than 24 million people in Afghanistan need humanitarian aid to survive.
The Ministry of Justice says the industrial areas law has been ratified in eleven chapters and 67 articles by the Islamic Emirate’s supreme leader.
The ministry said in a statement that this law was created for the growth and development of the country's economy by regulating industrial areas, providing the basis for attracting private investment, and managing industrial areas.
According to the statement, this law will be implemented by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

Khalilzad says it would have been better to get IEA involved in talks early on
He noted that the anger and feelings of the US leadership at that time would have made it difficult to reconcile with the IEA, but the IEA members, in conversations in Doha, blamed Karzai and the Northern Alliance figures.
Former US special representative for Afghanistan reconciliation, Zalmay Khalilzad, has said that it would have been better to get the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) involved in negotiations or deliberations about the future early on.
Speaking in a podcast released by Doha Debates, Khalilzad said that senior IEA members had met chairman of the interim authority in Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, following the Bonn negotiations, saying they would accept the new authority, provided that they could live in honor and dignity in their homes and not to be pursued and prosecuted.
He noted that the anger and feelings of the US leadership at that time would have made it difficult to reconcile with the IEA, but the IEA members, in conversations in Doha, blamed Karzai and the Northern Alliance figures.
“They (IEA) thought that 20 years of war and all the loss of life on all sides of Afghanistan was due to that mistake, as they saw it, to that neglect by President Karzai,” he said.
The former US diplomat recalled that President Donald Trump decided in 2018 to get troops out of Afghanistan believing the US wouldn’t succeed in winning the war and that priorities had changed.
Khalilzad said that he kept insisting in talks with the IEA that nothing would be agreed to until everything is agreed to, but there was this messaging from Washington and a desire not to link, too tightly, withdrawal to the agreement between the government and the IEA because of an assumption that the “Afghans would not agree with each other.”
On the two secret annexes of the Doha Agreement, Khalilzad said that they were about the specifics of the withdrawal process and terrorism issues, not the future Afghan government.
He emphasized that the Doha agreement meets the core concerns of the United States as not as single American was killed by the IEA during the 18 months and IEA is living up to its commitments regarding terrorism.
