Following decades of instability, exacerbated by severe drought and natural disasters, Afghanistan is currently facing a protracted humanitarian crisis, with millions of people living in poverty or without access to health care and food, putting them at severe risk of malnutrition and disease outbreaks.
Women and girls are even more severely affected, as they face increasing barriers to accessing health care services due to the ban on their education and entry into the workforce.
