#AHF 10Years #DoNotForgetAfghanistan

The ‘23 Results Report #Afghanistan 👇highlights the unwavering commitment of UN, partners, generous donors to the people of Afghanistan. We streamlined our initiatives with #UNSFA objectives & SDGs & remain dedicated to the prosperity, the fulfillment of rights for all Afghans.

The silent killer!! millions of unexploded ordinances scattered throughout Afghanistan. Resources for Mine action needs to be sustainable & ramped up.

Malnutrition remains a serious issue in Afghanistan particularly for children. Critical resources to sustain food security & Strategic investments in food systems remains urgent. A national nutrition survey to gather comprehensive country data is now a priority.

Since 2021, most #Afghans have seen their earnings decrease or disappear. Earthquakes & forced returns worsened the crisis, hitting women & children the hardest.

Watch how a resilient Afghan woman expanded her business & created jobs w/ IOM's support.

Human rights are the bedrock of peace.

Today, both are under attack.

The path to peace begins with full respect for all human rights – civil, cultural, economic, political and social.

Building a culture of human rights is building a world at peace.

In 2023, despite the challenges posed by three 6.3 magnitude earthquakes in Herat Province & a sudden influx of nearly 500K Afghans from Pakistan in the last quarter of the year, humanitarian actors reached 29.4M ppl with much-needed assistance.

It’s the height of winter in #Afghanistan where families are exposed to temperatures of up to -12°C at night. Since Oct 2023, #humanitarian actors have been providing #shelter , warm clothes, #food , & #health kits to the most vulnerable popns but more is needed to sustain them.

For more than 60 years, WFP in #Afghanistan has delivered food to families in need.

Now matter how difficult the journey, we continue to deliver.

👇 This is what we can do when we have the funding we need.

Meet Abdul - a UNICEF-supported vaccinator from Afghanistan.

'I just walk up the side of a mountain or wade through the river but it's worth the effort if it means I can vaccinate children,' he says.

Join us in thanking Abdul for his dedication to helping children stay healthy.

In #Afghanistan , many children go to school hungry.

On the #InternationalDayofEducation , we remind the world that school meals are essential for learning. For children like Madina, WFP biscuits might be all they eat in a day. 👇
