According to the report of Save the Children, approximately eight million children in Afghanistan (one out of every three children) are facing critical levels of hunger.
Following the ban on women’s work in non-governmental organizations, 115 mobile health clinics out of 437 clinics suspended their work, which affects 82,000 children and lactating and pregnant women.
According to UNICEF, severe acute malnutrition is the deadliest form of malnutrition in which a child’s immune system is severely weakened. As a result, the child’s weakened body cannot fight diseases and is not even able to absorb nutrients.
