Malnutrition Threatens One Million Afghan Children After Aid Cuts
Verified
One million children in Afghanistan face life-threatening malnutrition, NDTV reported. The country has endured recurring hunger crises for decades.
Five years after U.S.-led forces withdrew in 2021, the Taliban's return to power triggered an economic collapse. Afghanistan has been one of the hardest-hit countries since the Trump administration cut foreign aid 18 months ago.
Separately, the PBS NewsHour reported that Refugees International has attributed more than 160 deaths to those aid cuts over the past 18 months.
