Afghanistan's hunger crisis worsens as aid cuts force WFP to turn away children

Afghanistan faces a catastrophic hunger crisis, with the World Food Program forced to turn away three in four malnourished children due to aid cuts. Two-thirds of the country is experiencing severe malnutrition, impacting 4 million children. Decades of conflict, economic collapse, drought, earthquakes, and refugee returns have worsened the situation. Funding cuts have drastically reduced the WFP's ability to provide food, leaving many families, especially women, in desperate situations with rising child mortality.
