What food assistance is useful after a disaster?
Useful food depends on access, markets, cooking fuel, clean water, shelter, transport, dietary practice, and how quickly people need to eat.
What this means in practice
Prepared meals can be useful when cooking is disrupted.
Dry staples can support a longer period when households can store and prepare them.
Local assessment should determine the reachable gap instead of shipping an inflexible package based only on donor assumptions.
How Famidi thinks about practical food support
Famidi uses locally informed food assistance: household staples, prepared meals, bread support, or a combined response chosen for the need, timing, access, and available field record.
A dated package or meal record should not be treated as a permanent menu, price promise, nutrition prescription, or claim about every Afghan household. Current conditions and individual needs vary.
