the advantage most times here, i can take a teen, a ton of staff at the age of 83 has left funds around the world. really, everyone from bell and say to bank a bomb, i'm mick jagger has been singing praises and talking of her an incredible journey from poverty to pop star. believe you with music from the queen, a rock and the wood. there's to us. that's why we listen to their stories reporter every weekend dw,

the discovery. change your mind just to click away, find out best argument trees on you to see the world, the subscribe. know to dw talking entry, the the news fish are coming up to date of the songs, women, and children at the risk of malnutrition. that's the assessment from the u. m. as a country on the brink, struggles to feed its population. beautiful on what is a daily struggle for many despite that,

i've done this on the bundle as president at the project that leading to major dispute with neighboring you're on the british manager. welcome to the the news aisha. i'm glad you could join us. but you on has sounded a stock warning, i'm making monitored and situation enough to uninstall on. are you engines fund the officials speaking in new york? i lived in the month, shed some new information. today i used to make it 90 percent of of guns out on the brink of poverty. children be at the brand of eat. 2.3000000 children are expected to face a crude monday through soon in 2023. 875000 of them need treatment for savannah, a good amount of pollution, a life threatening condition. also this year, around $840000.00 pregnant women,

i'm breastfeeding mothers are likely to experience accused meditation. access to fluid is one of the biggest problems and i've done this on with women and children facing the front of it. it's something agencies have been trying to resolve, but it's an uphill battle. the women trying to force their way into a u. n. world food program, distribution points, while men struggle to maintain order. it's an unusual scene even for afghanistan, and it shows just how desperate the people here are. they told us to a deliveries will store. the situation isn't good. will the women queuing up here are struggling to make ends meet because of the world food programs. philip clubs shows us what the food i it consists of. a family of 7 receipts, 50 kilograms of flour, 6 key, those of lentils, 4.5 liters of oil,

and some salt. one ration is supposed to last 2 weeks. in the last 20 months, the u. n. has still a bit aid to 23000000 people now, but the funding is in jeopardy. the world food program has received no money since the start of the year. in april, we have to cut back our support for 13000000 people to just 5000000, and if no new money comes in, then the end of may, we'll see the last distribution in afghanistan with joining up guns done. well, what's that like for you is the one who's responsible here the, our colleagues had to tell the people out there that they won't get food anymore. it's horrible and nobody wants to have to do that. if there is no more humanitarian assistance, some 19000000 people could face stop ation. 54 percent of young children are already mountain dollars. and the crisis isn't just affecting rural areas. it's

hitting the capital to the res food, but fewer and fewer people can afford it. the work of international aid organizations is becoming increasingly difficult to since the toddy, bon ordered that women no longer allowed to work for them. some have even considered pulling out to resume where the world food program. we will not stop our support. we cannot just abandon these millions of hungry people. half of them women and girls who are already the most vulnerable. the women waiting in line outside have already lost almost everything, the jobs and the rights. now they tell us they're about to lose what little they have left to make them. we can't do anything. if they stop the aid, i don't know what will be left for us then they've been down there, but i don't know, but i think i might under that. yeah. it's

a disparate situation. it's our and rice alone won't solve this humanitarian crisis . it's up to the you ran to figure out how to support that kind of done in the long time. and joining me now is of gone, his son, country director for the world food program. show waley this late. are you getting enough international support to be able to support of gone this man just the we have significant funding shortages for the next 6 months. we're sure to $900000000.00. and what we have seen though is generous contributions over the last a year. and a half, and that needs to be sustained. what is going wrong? i mean $900000000.00. it doesn't appear to be a very small amount. do you think there is a lack of commitment from the international community or is it that the community is preoccupied? with other crises in the world right now a it's, it's

a combination of factors. certainly we recognize that there are global prices across the globe. many of them, and that requires assistance, a w, a p n, and the other contributions. so what we do need to still see and recognize is one the p window in their contribution made a very big difference in afghanistan over the last year and a half. we've essentially a heard a worst case scenarios over the last 2 winters, bring people out from the depths of crisis. but that hasn't changed and we need to then see how we can continue, especially for the next winter. and so we have a very big appeal at the moment. yes, $900000000.00 is not small, but it is required to be able to help the people that can scan. that's what we understand the context better. what happens if it don't receive $900000000.00 over the next 6 months? it well,

variety seeing the consequences. we've had to make major cuts because of the funding shortfalls. bed in very simple terms, the difference between what we were able to do in march and what we're able to do this month. and today is that we've had to remove 8000000 people from assistance. and that's very significant. we've also had to cut rations, which essentially is the amount of c that we can give to people. and i've spoken with grandmother's mothers and talked about how the assistance we were able to provide before couples with the amount that they were able to make as a family, the little wages if they're able to get they can get by. but now the interaction kind of reduction into that we're able to give them, they're not able to get and certain we're already seeing it with increases amount nutrition. and those receiver systems are actually not what you want because the

8000000 people that we have to completely customize assistance. they're the ones we're not getting any assistance at all. and these people who aren't getting any assistance from you, are they basically? well, let's just say alone with their situation. there is nobody to help them. is that what this means? they're struggling. they're very, very much struggling at the moment where our we have to prioritize more and more assistance. we certainly recognize them as vulnerable families in afghanistan are well as women headed household, such as widows, as the elderly children and people with disabilities. but far more than those categories are people who need assistance. and as i mentioned before, the little that they're able to make is enough to get them by. i mean, the agencies can only do so much and for so long i would imagine what do you think

will it take sort of gone us on to be able to support itself into the future. lots of different aspects. one with the economy, there needs to be some light breeze into the economy, but w. p. well, and maybe the best one for our life skills, humanitarian assistance. we've been working quite a lot with communities with households to help them with their resilience and help build and increase the productivity. we've worked with women, for example, with giving them not only training but then connecting them to market so that they can have some, some wyatt and be able to, to make a living on their, of those programs need to expand those programs, need funding to be able to continue helping them so that we can make that shift as somebody in and brought us on somebody so deeply involved with the or with the injury or work and the aid work in the country. is it fair to ask or fair to say

this to perhaps the biggest suffer is enough gone to sign at the moment audits, women and children the enough to understand are women and children. and so, of course, that we need our guided light to this, to the people in the that we serve. visa systems is always the odd need and the levels on our ability. and we do prioritize women and children because of those high levels and they are suffering we live at the for the time being, but thank you so much for joining us today. show really from the foot program. thank you. thank you very much. the main part of the country started on leadership is pressing ahead, but the construction of them that has, of iran, iran say, is the dime on the far back would affect the flow of water into the country with the damaging consequences. the thunder button, though,

is unperturbed. valuable i need to ship, i have inside our province. we are here to announce that assumption of the construction of function about them. a much anticipated decision in the area. the leadership hopes, once the construction finishes the dump continued $827.00 megawatts of power and it would help in the education of po. since i've picked this, i agree, custer learned that button product. this stem couldn't be looked to be higher for fire and half of afghanistan. it can provide job opportunities for the residents of our 10 neighboring provinces. the locals will invite them to come here to work in their fields is going there, the 10. but the project is stroking conflict, but that's gone. defense neighbor, you don't eat on under the planes of going just on for having done the flow of water in another major across the board. if i don't know strongly opposes the

construction of the down inside our province, it fears the new project with tracking the board to supply which eastern provinces . that 5th the we're what discuss city. i asked the rulers of afghanistan to take my word seriously by warning them that they should quickly honor the water rates of around system and below just done regions. but i've gotten this done. save fight up problems is losing underground water. and if the damage is not constructed, local population would be forced to migrate over the next 10 years. the, the, i've already sent you the scanner, stan is not a small country. as the minister for energy and water mentioned, our roads are broken. and our other infrastructure is in the same condition with

the dams as well. and there is not a single thing that does not need reconstruction. ask that agent visa for we're drugs and water shortages, conflicts would work the unlikely to and some of that the for the very people from the region on our website, the dot com, forward slash page share them as ever you can follow us on facebook and trip to rebecca again, tomorrow at the same time and see you then to by the lots and lots of children to, to fuse the wells population is growing at on the balanced rates. in some places it seems nation press
