Sufficient and nutritious food is a right for every child.
But in #Afghanistan, hunger is worsening — malnutrition is surging, and WFP can now reach only a fraction of those in need due to funding cuts.
We need urgent support before winter hits.
🖇️ Having worked with the @UN in Afghanistan, I’ve seen the courage of @UNVolunteers up close.
Their swift support after the recent earthquake in eastern Afghanistan shows what solidarity truly means. Grateful for their compassion and strength.

In #Afghanistan last year, WFP provided life-saving food assistance to 10 million women & children — those most affected by food insecurity.
Yet needs remain dire: 2 in 3 women-led families still can’t afford basic nutrition. For many, WFP support is their only lifeline.
