The aid agency Oxfam has warned that Afghanistan needs urgent help if it is to avoid a humanitarian disaster this winter.
Oxfam called for a "major humanitarian response" in a letter to development ministers around the world. In July, it appealed for just over 400 million dollars to meet the needs of some five million Afghans, but has apparently received only a fifth of the amount. Nearly 1,000 people died last winter in Afghanistan, where about half the population lives under the poverty line.
