Kabul: UNICEF Afghanistan has warned that one million Afghan children could die from severe acute malnutrition if “urgent” actions were not initiated to protect them.

UNICEF Afghanistan tweeted: "Without urgent action, 1 million #children could die from severe acute malnutrition. @UNICEFAfg

is providing high energy peanut paste to children to support their recovery."

Afghanistan is facing a severe economic crisis for a long period of time now.

Afghanistan witnessed a change in political situation last year when the Taliban captured the country.

The Taliban captured the nation in a swift pace ever since the foreign forces started leaving the war-ravaged country.
