Episode Details

Afghanistan’s child malnutrition crisis is spiraling as the U.N. World Food Program warns that a third of provinces are now facing critical levels, with funding cuts forcing suspensions of food aid during peak malnutrition season. Over 14,000 health centers shut down last year, leaving 13,000 children without life-saving treatment — and it’s already too late for many. Conflict, unemployment, soaring food prices, disease, and crumbling infrastructure compound the problem, while border closures and global disruptions have left nearly a million women and children without aid for five months. With a $540 million funding gap looming, the WFP is halting distributions in the most vulnerable areas — risking even greater devastation as winter approaches.
