Thirteen bodies have been transferred to Razi Saravan hospital in Iran's southeastern Sistan-Baluchistan province following the shooting of Afghan migrants by Iranian forces, an Iranian-based human rights organization said late Thursday.

Haalvsh organization said in a statement that due to the lack of space in the morgue of the hospital, there is no information about the whereabouts of the bodies of other victims.

Based on the statement, seven of the injured in the incident have been discharged from the hospital and three of the injured who underwent surgery are still hospitalized.

Haalvsh had previously reported that 260 Afghan migrants had died after being shot by Iranian forces earlier this week.

Iranian officials have denied the mass shooting of Afghans at the border.

The Islamic Emirate has appointed a delegation to investigate the incident.

The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced in a report that the organization was able to reach nearly 250,000 food-insecure people across Afghanistan with the assistance from China in the past few months.

The report said WFP was able to procure more than 2,000 metric tons of food, including fortified wheat flour and fortified vegetable oil, yellow split peas and salt which was distributed to more than 35,000 families or nearly 250,000 people across the country.

“Entire communities across Afghanistan experience despair and hunger,” said Ma Chen Guang, Counsellor of Economic and Commercial Affairs of the Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan, at a ceremony in Kabul on Thursday."

“China will continue to work with the World Food Programme to provide food assistance to hungry Afghan families in need of assistance for survival.”

The report stated: “The contribution from China came at a critical moment when a massive funding shortfall put at risk WFP’s work in Afghanistan. Last year, WFP had to cut 10 million people from assistance and this summer, due to the ongoing funding crisis, 11 million people did not receive emergency food assistance.

“This included more than 2 million mothers and their children who received no specialized supplementary food to combat malnutrition.”

“Afghanistan remains a global hunger hotspot and more than three-quarters of all people across the country cannot afford a nutritious diet that keeps them from falling into malnutrition,” said Hsiao-Wei Lee, Country Director of WFP Afghanistan.
“Families across the country need continued emergency food assistance to get through the winter months.”
