Food Aid Distribution in Afghanistan
Residents of a remote mountain village in northern Afghanistan cluster around trucks distributing sacks of wheat as part of the United Nations World Food Program. Relief workers distributed record amounts of food aid in the impoverished, war-torn country after the collapse of the Taliban regime in December 2001, just as the cold winter months were making food even more scarce.
