In a tweet, Imran Khan wrote this while sharing a BBC article that quoted WFP executive director David Beasley.

David paid a visit to Kabul on Sunday and talking to BBC he said, “We're now looking at the worst humanitarian crisis on Earth. It is as bad as you possibly can imagine.”

"Ninety-five percent of the people don't have enough food, and now we're looking at 23 million people marching towards starvation," he added. 

"The next six months are going to be catastrophic. It is going to be hell on Earth," WFP said.

Mr. Beasley challenges the governments and the billionaires of the developed world to face up to the urgent need for help.
