Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: OCHA published a post on Platform X and said that these children were using these food packages to improve nutrition in provinces that were identified as priorities.
OCHA added that the access of more than 100,000 other people to basic health and nutrition services was either limited or cut off.
This institution has warned that if the lack of funds to help the people of Afghanistan continues, 173 mobile centers for health and nutrition services will be blocked, which will affect 70,200 children under the age of five.
OCHA also said that 1.8 million people would be cut off from access to nutrition services, including 944,000 children under five with moderate malnutrition and 521,934 children under five with severe malnutrition.
It should be mentioned that with the beginning of the second half of this year, international institutions have widely warned about the lack of humanitarian funds to help the people of Afghanistan.
