Afghanistan Hunger Crisis: Families Face Extreme Poverty and Food Shortages Record hunger leaves millions at risk Afghanistan is facing one of its worst food crises in recent years. Around 4.7 million people, more than one tenth of the population, are now living just one step away from famine. Many families struggle daily to secure even a single meal. Ghor province is among the hardest hit areas, where poverty and job shortages have pushed households into extreme survival mode. Daily struggle for survival In Chaghcharan, the capital of Ghor, men gather every morning in the hope of finding short term work. Most return home empty handed. Jobs are rare and pay very little, often not enough to buy basic food for a day. Juma Khan, a local laborer, shared that he managed to find work only three days in six weeks. His earnings were barely enough to cover basic needs. He explained that his children went to bed hungry for three consecutive nights, leaving the family in deep distress. Families pushed to breaking point Another resident, Rabani, described receiving a call that his children had not eaten for two days. He said the situation left him emotionally shattered and even made him consider ending his own life. However, he said he stayed focused on trying to find work, as his family depends on him for survival. Many fathers in the region now face impossible choices as food insecurity continues to rise and incomes remain unstable.
