US Aid Cuts Push Afghan Women and Children Into Healthcare Crisis

Recent US aid cuts to Afghanistan, particularly in the healthcare sector, are having devastating effects on women and children.

Reports from the UN and on-the-ground investigations reveal that millions of Afghan women may lose access to essential maternal health services, putting lives at risk. Hospitals are already seeing increased cases of malnutrition and infant mortality as funding dries up. Despite official claims that no deaths have resulted from these cuts, evidence suggests otherwise.

The situation is dire, with humanitarian organizations warning of a worsening crisis if aid is not restored.
