In 2023, over 28 million people in Afghanistan are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. The number of people experiencing severe food insecurity has swollen, with six million people on the brink of famine. Afghanistan’s children are among the world’s poorest and most vulnerable, and their situation is worsening. They need support now.
The suffering of Afghan children and families is due to circumstances beyond their control. Afghanistan has been ravaged by over four decades of conflict and a climate change crisis that has caused both severe drought and extreme flooding in recent years. The country’s economic collapse in 2021, following the sudden fall of the Government, has exasperated need and led to widespread hunger and food insecurity.
