Nearly 19 million people in Afghanistan are now facing acute hunger as a catastrophic funding shortfall leaves the United Nations' World Food Program operating with merely 12% of the resources it held in 2022.

Decades of compounding conflict, severe economic collapse, and sweeping international aid cuts have pushed the nation to the brink, with vulnerable children bearing the most devastating toll in overcrowded malnutrition wards.
