724 Humanitarian Trucks Cross Pakistan Border into Afghanistan

This past Sunday, the United Nations shared that over 700 trucks filled with humanitarian aid crossed into Afghanistan from Pakistan, even though the border had mostly shut down after the clashes in October. Olga Cherevko from the UN's humanitarian office in Afghanistan mentioned that the convoy brought vital supplies, such as food. Mo Yahya, the UN's Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Pakistan, confirmed that 724 trucks went through Torkham, delivering support to those in need. He thanked Islamabad and everyone involved in keeping this aid route open. Back in August, the World Food Programme raised concerns about severe child malnutrition in Afghanistan, where nearly 14 million people are struggling with hunger due to last year's earthquakes and this year's climate issues, along with refugees arriving from Iran and Pakistan since 2023.
