Save the Children reports that one in 10 Afghan children under five suffer from acute malnutrition, with 3.7 million affected in 2026. The crisis is driven by a 70% drop in humanitarian aid since 2022, forcing 600 health facilities to close. Funding gaps and the Taliban's restrictions on female aid workers worsen the situation.
