Afghanistan Faces Worst Child Malnutrition Crisis
Tap title to read story
Afghanistan is experiencing its worst-ever child malnutrition crisis, with nearly 10 million people facing acute food insecurity, according to the World Food Programme (WFP). A drop in emergency food aid, partly due to a US funding cut, has exacerbated the situation. The WFP requires $539 million to assist vulnerable families, including 60,000 recent returnees from Iran, and an additional $15 million for those returnees. Climate change, including drought and floods, further complicates the crisis.
