Afghan Refugees

Description:

Afghan refugees prepare wheat dough for bread in makeshift bakeries in camps near the Afghan/Pakistan border. The United States has supplied more than 80 percent of all food aid for vulnerable Afghans through the World Food Program. Afghanistan was number one recipient of U.S. humanitarian assistance prior to September 11, and remains so today. The U.S. Agency for International Development is the U.S. government agency that has provided development and humanitarian assistance worldwide for over 40 years.
