Zan News: According to the latest update from the World Food Programme (WFP), three million children in Afghanistan are suffering from malnutrition.

The organization made these statements on its X page on Tuesday (May 28) on the occasion of "World Nutrition Day."

Of these three million children, the organization has only been able to reach 1.3 million of them.

According to the organization, poverty, the financial crisis, and the deteriorating humanitarian situation are the main factors that have put Afghan children at risk of malnutrition.

The WFP had previously announced that 2.3 million pregnant women in Afghanistan are also suffering from malnutrition.

United Nations statistics show that currently, more than a third of Afghanistan's population is facing food shortages.

This comes as poverty, hunger, and a decrease in financial assistance have increased under Taliban rule in Afghanistan.
