- Transcript: USAID Chief Says Famine Averted in Afghanistan 03 Jan. 2002-- MR. NATSIOS: Thank you very much.

The congratulations go to the international organizations such as the World Food Program that did the primary distribution into the country, and then to the NGOs that did the distribution from the interior warehouses to the remote villages and to the cities.
