Afghanistan Faces Soaring Hunger Crisis, WFP Seeks Aid
Afghanistan is facing a big hunger problem.
The World Food Programme (WFP) says many people don't have enough food.
Especially, families led by women are having a tough time.
Many children are already sick because they don't have enough to eat.
The WFP says it needs a lot of money to help people get food in the next few months.
They are trying to help families that are struggling to buy food because of poverty and problems with the economy.
WFP reports a worsening hunger crisis in Afghanistan.
3.5 million Afghan children are malnourished.
Returning women and children are most vulnerable to food insecurity.
