Women paying biggest price for aid cuts in Afghanistan: WFP
“More than one million mothers and children no longer benefit from nutritional aid due to a severe lack of funding.”
The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has once again expressed concern about the lack of funding for aid programs for the needy in Afghanistan, saying that women will suffer the most.
The UN agency said on X on Sunday that in Afghanistan, it is the women who bear the heavy burden with less options for livelihood.
“Women are paying the greatest cost for aid cuts in Afghanistan,” WFP said.
“More than one million mothers and children no longer benefit from nutritional aid due to a severe lack of funding.”
According to the organization, four million women and children in Afghanistan are struggling with malnutrition, and the situation will only get worse if funding is not provided.
