According to the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, or UNICEF, the number of needy people in Afghanistan went up from 28.3 million to 29.2 million in its most recent report.
This international organisation claimed that in the first half of this year, approximately 20 million Afghanistani had access to basic supplies and healthcare, but that today, everything has changed and is working against the Afghanistani people.
As reported by UNICEF, approximately 8 million children were assessed for acute malnutrition through mobile and stationary health clinics from January to July, and nearly 350,000 children (56% females) were admitted for treatment.
In addition, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund reported that between January and July, 633,000 children (60% of whom were females) received village-to-village schooling.
This international body described Afghanistan’s situation for women, girls, and children as “catastrophic,” claiming that no other country has slipped into darkness like Afghanistan.
