“10 million children in Afghanistan need humanitarian assistance to survive,” Fore said.
“The health of nearly one million Afghan children is at risk from malnutrition, and they may die if not treated,” she added.
She stated that “435,000 children and women have been internally displaced in Afghanistan.”
“We expect the humanitarian needs of children and women to increase in the coming months due to the severe drought, the devastating social and economic consequences of the coronavirus, and the approach of winter,” she added.
Since May, the “Taliban” has begun to expand its control in Afghanistan with the start of the final phase of the withdrawal of US forces.
