The United Nations has warned that Afghanistan faces an 'absolute catastrophe' of famine, homelessness and economic ruin, as the Tory chairman of the Commons Defence Committee urged the organisation's 'immediate' intervention before Kabul descends into 'complete disorder'.   Mary-Ellen McGroarty, the UN's World Food Programme's country director for Afghanistan, told the Observer  swift coordinated action was critical 'otherwise, an already horrendous situation is just going to become an absolute catastrophe, a complete humanitarian disaster'.  She added: 'We need to get supplies into the country, not only in terms of food, but the medical supplies, the shelter supplies. We need money and we need it now.  Delay for the next six or seven weeks and it's going to start becoming too late.

Pubs could run out of BEER for Bank Holiday: Landlords warn they may have to shut by the weekend with pumps running dry 'in days' after lorry driver strike hit supply chain

British boozers could be running dry by the August bank holiday after a strike action by lorry drivers caused severe supply chain issues. Around 1,000 draymen, who between them are responsible for around 40% of beer deliveries to pubs in Britain, voted in favour of industrial action over their pay this summer.  The pingdemic has also contributed to declining numbers of available lorry drivers, resulting in severe shortages of beer, wine and bar snacks.   Despite the industrial action being resolved earlier this week, pubs across the country are already desperately low on stock, and watering holes owned by the larger chains are the worst affected due to their reliance on imported beers.  Landlord Ian Ward, of The Spring Vale Inn, in Chadderton, Greater Manchester, said: 'We're really low and may have to shut Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.' John Wray, owner of the Venue, in Bolton, Greater Manchester, said: 'There's a growing concern we could run out.' Campaigners wa
