World Food Program appeals for $19 million to provide emergency food for Afghanistan_我的网站

A |     ISLAMABAD -- The United Nations' World Food Program on Wednesday appealed for $19 million to provide emergency assistance to tens of thousands of people affected by a series of devastating earthquakes and aftershocks that has rocked western Afghanistan.Ana Maria Salhuana, deputy country director of the World Food Program in Afghanistan, said it was helping survivors but it urgently needed more funding because “we are having to take this food from an already severely underfunded program.”The group said it is working to provide emergency food assistance to 100,000 people in the region.“Disasters like these earthquakes pound communities who are already barely able to feed themselves back into utter destitution," the WFP said.A 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck part of western Afghanistan on Sunday, after thousands of people died and entire villages were flattened by major quakes a week earlier. It was the fourth quake the U.S. Geological Survey has measured at 6.3 magnitude in the same area in just over a week.The initial earthquakes on Oct. 7 flattened whole villages in Herat province and were among the most destructive quakes in the country’s recent history.The WFP said staffers responded within hours of the first earthquakes, distributing fortified biscuits, pulses and other food items to affected families in destroyed villages.“An estimated 25,000 buildings have been destroyed," the group said a statement. “The survivors are currently sleeping in tents next to the rubble of their homes, desperate and afraid of further earthquakes and aftershocks.”The latest quake was centered about 30 kilometers (19 miles) outside the city of Herat, the capital of Herat province, and was 6 kilometers (4 miles) below the surface, the U.S. Geological Survey said. More than 90% of the people killed were women and children, U.N. officials said. The quakes struck during the daytime, when many of the men in the region were working outdoors.Taliban officials said the earlier quakes killed more than 2,000 people across the province. The epicenter was in Zenda Jan district, where the majority of casualties and damage occurred.The WFP said affected families will need help for months with winter just weeks away. It said that if there is funding, the emergency response will be complemented by longer-term resilience programs so vulnerable communities are able to rebuild their livelihoods.The UN body was forced earlier this year to reduce the amount of food families receive and to cut 10 million people in Afghanistan from life-saving food assistance due to a massive funding shortfall. In addition to the earthquake response, the WFP also urgently needs $400 million to prepare food before winter, when communities are cut off due to snow and landslides. In Afghanistan, these include communities of women who are being increasingly pushed out of public life.The initial quake, numerous aftershocks and a third 6.3-magnitude quake on Wednesday flattened villages, destroying hundreds of mud-brick homes that could not withstand such force. Schools, health clinics and other village facilities also collapsed.Besides rubble and funerals after that devastation, there was little left of the villages in the region’s dusty hills. Survivors are struggling to come to terms with the loss of multiple family members and in many places, living residents are outnumbered by volunteers who came to search the debris and dig mass graves.Earthquakes are common in Afghanistan, where there are a number of fault lines and frequent movement among three nearby tectonic plates.。    冀时新闻报道 企业车间变直播间、产品触网出圈，今年以来，我省各地依托数字经济新业态搭建平台、培育人才，对内拓宽销售市场、对外打通出海通道，让电商直播成为县域产业转型升级、实体经济提质增效的新引擎。在邢台任泽区凯环激光生产车间，焊接声伴着主播带货的声音，让车间变身跨境直播间。这家拥有二十余项专利的专精特新企业，主营激光焊接、清洗设备，曾长期面临线下拓客难题。凯环激光设备制造有限公司总经理 高朋飞：上门推销产品，谈的话没那么好谈，很多就是打电话（说），我到你们厂门口了，能不能聊聊，我们做什么产品的，客户（说）在忙，连客户工厂门口都进不去。为扭转被动局面，企业在当地政府部门帮助下，组建了二十多人的直播团队，差异化营销。凯环激光设备制造有限公司总经理 高朋飞：录视频直接拿起来我们焊枪直接就焊，焊接效果给客户展示，特别的平整光滑，然后一看就不需要打磨。目前企业在海外多平台圈粉400多万，积累精准客户超万人，今年1至7月出口额近1500万元。为帮助更多像凯环激光这样的本土制造业企业扬帆出海，今年任泽区出台了推进电商直播工作方案，从构建选品体系、培育主播队伍、搭建直播场景等9个方面细化举措。邢台广富机械制造有限公司就借助线上流量，吸引了来自韩国的客商前来考察并追加订单。韩国客商 姜熙龙：我在网上通过TikTok短视频了解这个叉车，就买了三台叉车。员工说性价比好，操作又简单，我们（这次）决定再买三台。广富公司主要从事矿山设备、电动叉车等多种工业设备的销售，企业在推进跨境电商直播中遇到的最大难题就是缺少人才。邢台市任泽区商务局电商工作负责人 闫新明：我们邀请了三家电商的培训机构对工业企业进行了专题培训，跟企业签订合作协议，对企业的电商工作人员从开店然后到录视频，然后再直播，一点一滴地来进行解决。如今邢台任泽区已有20多家规上企业通过车间直播、跨境引流等新模式开拓海外市场。
