Images posted on social media showed roads in several central and northern provinces blocked by heavy snowfall. "Lost livelihoods and assets further endanger Afghan families at a time when 21.2 million people urgently need continued food and agricultural support," the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said on Twitter.Many NGOs suspended their operations in protest against a ban on women working with humanitarian groups.
