World Food Programme cuts aid amid Afghanistan hunger crisis

Afghanistan faces a severe hunger crisis, with four million severely malnourished children at risk. Two-thirds of the country is experiencing food scarcity. The UN World Food Programme is cutting aid due to reduced funding, forcing them to reject three-quarters of severely malnourished children needing assistance. Multiple factors contribute to the crisis, including decades of conflict, halted foreign aid after the Taliban takeover, returning refugees, and recent earthquakes.
