The World Food Programme (WFP) has raised concerns over the increasing levels of malnutrition in Afghanistan, particularly among women and children.<\/p>\n
According to the United Nations agency, the risk of worsening malnutrition is sharply rising as winter approaches. The WFP has warned that, for the first time in decades, a comprehensive and nationwide response to the crisis may not be possible.<\/p>\n
Describing the situation as a \u201cpreventable crisis,\u201d the organization emphasized that immediate and timely support could prevent further harm and save the lives of many Afghans.<\/p>\n
In recent years, a combination of deep economic crisis, recurring droughts, and restrictions imposed by the Taliban on aid organizations has severely limited public access to food and healthcare services.<\/p>\n
The Taliban administration, which over the past two years has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis through ineffective policies and decision-making, has yet to provide a clear response or effective strategy to address rising malnutrition. This lack of action has heightened concerns among international organizations and human rights advocates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
