Zan News: The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that it has successfully treated 100,000 children suffering from "acute malnutrition" in Afghanistan.
In a message on X today, Sunday (October 13), the organization stated that the treatment of malnourished patients in Afghanistan was carried out in cooperation with the European Union's Asia-Pacific Humanitarian Aid.
It's worth noting that the WHO previously announced that 2.9 million children under five years old in Afghanistan were facing malnutrition, with 850,000 of them suffering from acute malnutrition.
This organization had warned that food insecurity in the country is spreading as a crisis.
Meanwhile, the United Nations has previously stated that the UN's aid agencies are facing a severe shortage of funds for providing assistance in Afghanistan.
The UN has cited the violation of human rights, especially women's rights, under Taliban rule as the main reason for the decrease in funding
