An Afghan labourer carries sacks of wheat flour at a wholesalers in Kabul, 06 January 2008. Afghanistan could face serious food shortages in the coming months that could lead to a famine, Economy Minister Mohammad Amin Farhang told a German newspaper. Farhang called on the international community for help, noting that 400,000 tonnes of the wheat were still needed to feed the population through the winter and sufficient oil, sugar and flour were also lacking.
