At least 78 people died of nearly -20 cold in Afghanistan during the country\u2019s worst winter in more than a decade, authorities said on Thursday.<\/h2>\n

While around 78 people die in the freezing winter, 77,000 livestock have also died in the past nine days, threatening to deepen the country\u2019s food insecurity. \u201cLost livelihoods and assets further endanger Afghan families at a time when 21.2 million people urgently need continued food and agricultural support,\u201d said UNOCHA on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Samira Sayed-Rahman, Afghanistan, in Communications & Advocacy shared, “Temperatures are expected to drop below -20\u00b0 in #Kabul this week, and already well below in other parts of #Afghanistan. This is in the midst of a worsening humanitarian crisis and bans on female aid workers preventing aid from reaching the most vulnerable.
\nA brutal winter for Afghans.”<\/p>\n
