Afghanistan Faces Below-Average Rainfall, UN Warns of Drought Risk

Afghanistan is expected to experience below-average rainfall across most provinces, with limited precipitation posing risks to agriculture, water resources, and food security.

A recent assessment by meteorological experts indicates that many provinces will see little to no rainfall, with levels likely remaining below normal for the season.

Only parts of the north and northeast may receive light rain, but experts warn it will be insufficient to compensate for the widespread deficit.
