Afghanistan's Child Malnutrition Crisis Deepens Amid Aid Cuts and Conflict

Afghanistan is grappling with a severe child malnutrition crisis, with an estimated 14 million people, including 3.7 million children, facing acute hunger. The World Food Programme (WFP) warns that critical levels of malnutrition are present in a third of the country's provinces, a record high. Funding shortfalls and ongoing conflict are forcing WFP to scale back life-saving food and nutrition programs, leaving millions without essential assistance.
