Severe Weather Receives Rapid Response

USAID’s Office of Food for Peace helps victims of harsh winter.

2 March 2008 | Kabul, Afghanistan

The severe winter continues to be of primary concern. USAID’s Office of Food for Peace made a rapid response to a request from the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan for additional food aid. Approximately 30,000 metric tons ($20 million) of United States Government wheat are pre-positioned in World Food Program’s (WFP) hubs in Quetta (11,000 metric tons) and Peshawar (19,000 metric tons) in response to WFP’s appeal for 89,000 metric tones worth $77 million. Dispatches from these hubs into Afghanistan are taking place. As of mid February, 4,330 metric tons have been dispatched to Mazar, Jalalabad, and Fayzabad.
