The World Food Programme (WFP) in Afghanistan has warned that an estimated 3.5 million children are likely to suffer from malnutrition this year. In a report released on Sunday, April 13, 2025, the organization stated that Afghanistan is currently facing the most severe malnutrition crisis in its history.
The report also highlighted that 1.2 million pregnant and breastfeeding women are suffering from malnutrition. According to the WFP, the alarming rise in malnutrition rates is directly linked to a significant decline in financial aid.
Previously, the World Food Programme reported that 15 million people in Afghanistan did not know where their next meal would come from.
