The Children's Protection Foundation has published a report and warned about the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, saying that this year, about 19 million people, of which 9.2 million are children, will face food insecurity. According to this organization, 97 percent of Afghans are at risk of falling below the poverty line this year.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a coalition of UN agencies has released an alert that over the last three months (August to October 2019), around one-third of the Afghan population required urgent humanitarian action.
About 2 million Afghan children under the age of five are affected by acute malnutrition, United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) said Tuesday.
Nearly half of all rural Afghans now face some level of food insecurity, a UN agency said on Monday, as a historic drought and deteriorating security grip the country.
