UNICEF warns of worsening healthcare crisis for children in Afghanistan

UNICEF warns that Afghanistan’s worsening healthcare crisis is endangering children, with limited access to medical services increasing disease and malnutrition risks.

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has warned that a lack of basic healthcare facilities in Afghanistan, particularly in rural areas, is causing the spread of preventable diseases and endangering children’s health. According to the organization, more than half of Afghan families lack access to essential medical services.
