Afghanistan’s acute malnutrition emergency

First aired Latest aired

Gone quiet since

Where it stands

WFP warned that nearly 3.7 million children and 1.2 million pregnant or breastfeeding women were projected to face acute malnutrition in 2026. By August, general food assistance had stopped, funding covered 10 percent or less of needs, and only one in seven acutely malnourished women and children was being treated; the emergency has not been reported under control.

    The story so far

    1. Update 211 days later

      As Hunger Peaks for 14 Million Afghans, Food Aid Runs Out of Money

      As funding fell to 12%, food distributions were scaled back, wasting hit critical levels in a third of provinces, and clinics and hotlines absorbed the fallout.

      Still open after this report

      • No verified total for whether general distributions have fully stopped or are being scaled back province by province.
      • No verified current coverage rate versus 2022, and no verified increase figure versus 2021 on this evidence.

    2. Update 1

      A Third of Afghanistan's Provinces Hit Critical Child Wasting as 3.7 Million Face Hunger

      The WFP says wasting has hit unprecedented levels, aid cuts mean only one in seven in need can be reached, and $540 million is urgently needed to stop more child deaths.

      Still open after this report

      • The full count of shuttered health facilities and the complete list of supply-route disruptions beyond regional conflict and scale-backs.
      • How many of the six in seven currently unreached will progress to severe wasting without resumed distributions.
