Tehran, IRNA – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has said it has received a humanitarian contribution of €1.5 million from the European Union (EU) to bolster its operations in support of Afghan refugees in Iran.

In an announcement on Monday, the WFP said that this contribution will be directed towards supporting 33,000 refugees residing in 20 settlements across Iran through cash-based transfers.

It hailed the EU contribution as a crucial step in enhancing the living conditions of refugees in Iran.
