Why are children dying in Afghanistan?

The reason for the continuous death of children in afghanistan is none other than poverty. Here people are not even able to get enough food, due to which children are dying.

32 lakh severely malnourished children

There are 32 lakh severely malnourished children in Afghanistan. These are the conditions that afghanistan has been struggling with for many decades. The reason behind this is 40 years of war, poverty and the situation that arose after the Taliban took over three years ago. Now the situation in the country is getting out of control every day. Can you imagine how the 32 lakh children suffering from severe malnutrition in the country would look like? According to the BBC report, about 18-18 children are lying on 7 to 8 beds here.
