1 in 2 Afghani Children Will Battle Malnutrition in 2022
Today, the situation unfolding in Afghanistan is getting worse by the hour.
Without help, 1 in 2 children under five in Afghanistan will be acutely malnourished in 2022.
Rising malnutrition, COVID -19, drought, disruptions to health care and crippling winter weather are putting 12.9 million children lives at risk.
The situation in Afghanistan is critical, and now winter will make it worse.
Winter in Afghanistan is severe, with temperatures regularly dropping below freezing. Without winter clothing, blankets and fuel, hungry children will struggle to survive.
Dear Rosie,
We have just received your amazing donation of € 2000.00 and vital supplies are now on their way to children!
Kindness like yours is ensuring that our mobile health teams can keep taking essential nutrition and health care services to the most vulnerable children in the hardest-to-reach areas. With around 300,000 children forced out of their homes because of the conflict, you are also supporting mobile health and nutrition teams in camps for internally displaced people and setting up nutrition hubs. Your recent donation will help to ensure that critical services like this can continue.
Thank you again for your wonderful kindness and timely help. With very best wishes from everyone on the team at UNICEF Afghanistan.
Alice Akunga
UNICEF Afghanistan Representative

About Ronald McDonald House Charities
The Ronald McDonald House provides accommodation care and support for 20 families every night while their seriously ill children are inpatient or receiving care in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital.
The House enables families to stay together so that they can be with their sick child at what is a very traumatic time for them all.
The first,16 bedroom, Ronald McDonald House is situated on the grounds of Our Lady’s Hospital and our smaller 4 bedroom House is directly across the road at St Mary’s Drive.
Many families travel far from home to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children. Often, it can be a long time to be away from home, or to divide a family. For children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having their mum and dad close by for love and support. Ronald McDonald House program provides a Home for families so they can stay close by their hospitalised child at very little cost. The House works on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on healing their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest.
