“We believe that eight trucks were destroyed and one truck was damaged. The other 19 trucks in the convoy were undamaged,” Challiss McDonough, WFP’s information officer in Kabul, told IRIN.
One truck driver was injured in the incident and another, along with his truck, was unaccounted for, she said.
WFP, which feeds over six million vulnerable people in the country, again called on the warring parties to allow safe passage for food aid.
