Ram Bibi and her parents are among nearly more than 7,300 refugee families from Afghanistan and Iraq residing inside 20 settlements across Iran.

Cash assistance from the World Food Programme(WFP) facilitated by donors such as the European Union enables people to buy the foods they need, while in-kind foods such as flour enable families to make food.

Ram Bibi's family moved to Iran when she was a small girl to escape conflict and economic instability in Afghanistan's Herat province in the late Nineties.
