Afghanistan: Nearly 20 million people going hungry

 Nearly 20 million people in Afghanistan are facing acute hunger, humanitarians warned in a UN-backed report.

The analysis was conducted in January and February by partners who include the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), sister agency the World Food Programme (WFP), and many non-governmental organizations.
