Zan News: The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says that in 2024, it provided primary health services to over 20 million people in Afghanistan, half of whom were children.
In a report published on its activities over the past year, the organization stated that these services were delivered through UNICEF-supported centers across the country.
According to the report, around 12 million children and mothers also benefited from the organization’s nutritional services.
UNICEF also stated that under the framework of the “Community-Based Education” program, 564,000 children—64 percent of whom were girls—gained access to education.
