Original: Afghanistan to face sharp rise in acute malnutrition in 2027, with over 4 million children projected to be in need of urgent treatment
New projections indicate Afghanistan will face a sharp rise in acute malnutrition in 2027, with more than 4 million children expected to need urgent treatment. aid agencies warn the surge would place immense pressure on already strained humanitarian operations, as funding shortfalls and restricted access continue to limit nutrition programmes across the country.
