சுகாதாரம் · 3.7M children at risk · காப்பகம்Record One-Third of Afghan Provinces Gripped by Malnutrition; 3.7M Children at Riskஎழுத்து வடிவம் 7 செப்டம்பர், 2026 அன்று 9:22 PM UTCபாருங்கள்உரைப்பதிவு0:00The World Food Program warns that child0:02malnutrition [music]0:03now grips a record 1/3 of Afghanistan's0:05provinces, a benchmark [music] the0:07country has never reached before. Nearly0:093.7 million children are projected to0:12suffer acute malnutrition this year0:14alongside [music] 1.2 million pregnant0:17and breastfeeding women. The0:18infrastructure meant to catch these0:19children is collapsing. The WFP says 1420:23health [music] centers across0:24Afghanistan closed in 2025.0:27Even if funding materializes, [music]0:29nutrition products may not arrive due to0:31a severe shortage driven by conflict in0:32the Middle East and the closure of the0:34Pakistan border. Across the country,0:36those shuttered centers have [music]0:38left mothers with nowhere to turn.0:47One Afghan [music] mother described the0:49desperation, revealing she is too ill to0:52feed her children. The collapse followed0:53the 2021 US withdrawal [music] and0:55Taliban takeover. Aid cuts accelerated0:58in 2025, compounding the health center1:00closures and driving malnutrition to1:02[music] unprecedented levels. The WFP1:04warns that without immediate investment,1:06child [music] deaths will rise. But the1:08Taliban's control and Washington's aid1:10cuts have both restricted the flow of1:12resources. The WFP appeal is direct.1:14[music]1:15We must act now to stem the rise in1:17child deaths which this crisis is1:19provoking. It is already too late for1:21too many, [music] but not for the1:22hundreds of the thousands of acutely1:24malnourished women and children who1:26urgently need and deserve our help. What1:28remains unresolved is whether the urgent1:30[music] funding the WFP says will1:32prevent rising child deaths will arrive1:34and whether nutrition supplies can reach1:36Afghanistan's [music] provinces before1:38the 142 shuttered health centers become1:40a permanent subtraction from the1:41country's capacity to respond.
