Or, more current, how many nan might have gone to feed Afghani families had not Taliban militia cleaned out UN warehouses in Kabul and Kandahar of 5K of wheat yesterday

Not to side with the Taliban, who I think are truly awful. But given that 1 out of 5 Red Cross warehouses in Kabul remains standing at this point, clearing out the last one seems like a statistically reasonable thing to do. No matter how bad the Taliban are, they are likely to do a better job distributing the wheat than the next errant bomb.
