Afghanistan has been severely impacted by a drought from 2018 to 2019, drastically affecting agricultural production and leading to large-scale displacement. The drought, exacerbated by La Niña, resulted in a 70% deficit in rain, snow, and sleet. Wheat production has plummeted, and further precipitation deficits are expected. This ongoing crisis has displaced 275,000 people, surpassing the numbers displaced by conflict in the region during the same period.
