UN Reports Worsening Hunger Crisis in Afghanistan Amid Aid Shortfalls

The UN's World Food Programme (WFP) warns of an intensifying hunger crisis in Afghanistan, affecting 14 million people, including acutely malnourished women and children. Severe funding shortfalls are forcing the WFP to reduce critical food and nutrition programs, with malnutrition reaching critical levels in many provinces. Without urgent support, there are dire warnings of increased child mortality, highlighting a severe humanitarian emergency.
