Child malnutrition has reached critical levels in a third of Afghanistan’s provinces, according to the U.N. World Food Program. The situation is expected to worsen as funding shortfalls force cuts in food distributions and other support. On Tuesday, the WFP said 142 health centers closed in 2025 due to aid reductions. More than 13,000 children lost access to nutrition treatment. Nearly 3.7 million Afghan children are projected to suffer from acute malnutrition this year. The agency cited conflict, unemployment and rising food prices as other contributing factors. WFP said supply shortages linked to conflict in the Middle East have disrupted deliveries.
