Aid agencies reported a significant increase in malnutrition cases across Afghanistan on January 29 2026 highlighting worsening humanitarian conditions. Children and pregnant women were identified as the most vulnerable as food insecurity spread in rural and conflict affected areas. Drought limited access to nutritious food while economic hardship reduced household purchasing power.
Health workers said clinics are overwhelmed by rising admissions linked to severe undernourishment. Limited funding and access challenges have constrained relief efforts particularly in remote provinces. International organizations warned that without additional support the situation could deteriorate further during the coming months.
Authorities acknowledged the scale of the crisis and called for increased humanitarian assistance. Efforts are underway to expand feeding programs and improve supply chains but progress remains uneven. On January 29 2026 aid officials stressed that sustained international engagement is essential to prevent long term developmental harm. Observers noted that addressing malnutrition will require coordinated action on food access healthcare and economic stability.
