Afghanistan’s Malnutrition Crisis: Why the WFP is Turning Away 3 in 4 Children | Report

Описание: We detail the catastrophic surge in child malnutrition currently unfolding across Afghanistan. According to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), the country is witnessing its highest spike in acute malnutrition ever recorded, leaving 4 million children at risk of death. Following the dismantling of nearly $1 billion in annual U.S. humanitarian aid, essential services—including clinics, nutrition centers, and emergency transport—have collapsed.We focus on the impact in Daikundi province, where over 60 clinics have been forced to close, leaving women and children without basic medical care. While the WFP requires $568 million to sustain its life-saving operations—an amount equivalent to just three days of U.S. military spending during the height of the Afghan war—the funding gap remains unabridged. This report examines the direct correlation between budget decisions made in Washington and the life-or-death reality for millions of Afghan families.
