Households in Afghanistan are facing challenges with food storage after harvests, leading to reliance on markets with high prices and limited labor opportunities. Globally, incidents involving drone-delivered explosives impacting aid operations significantly increased in 2025, posing a growing threat to humanitarian efforts.

Inadequate food storage capacity and a lack of diversified income sources leave many households vulnerable during winter. The rising use of drones with explosives presents a severe and escalating risk to aid workers and humanitarian supplies.

Many people are at risk of food insecurity due to insufficient post-harvest storage and limited purchasing power. The safety of aid workers and the integrity of humanitarian assets are compromised by increasing drone attacks.

The specific impact of drone incidents on aid operations within Afghanistan during the reporting period is not covered.
