El Niño-induced extreme weather exacerbates hunger in Zambia and Afghanistan, warns WFP, calling for donor support.

Extreme weather caused by El Niño is surging hunger in countries like Zambia and Afghanistan, the World Food Programme (WFP) warns. WFP has been providing early warning messages, drought-tolerant seeds, and protective walls in affected regions, assisting local farmers and populations. As climate change strengthens El Niño, the UN's WFP calls for donor support to address the growing crisis.
