Kabul, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) — Some 22.9 million people in Afghanistan, including approximately 12 million children, representing almost half the country's population, were in need of humanitarian assistance in 2025, Tolo News reported on Monday, citing the latest report by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
According to the report, the combination of climate shocks, ongoing economic stagnation and rising unemployment has significantly increased humanitarian needs across the country.
Extreme weather events, including recurring droughts and floods, have exacerbated existing vulnerabilities, increasing food insecurity and putting further pressure on limited public services in both urban and rural areas, the report says.
UNICEF also highlighted severe funding constraints, particularly in the water and sanitation, health, and nutrition sectors. These shortages have impacted service delivery and heightened concerns about potential disruptions to the supply of vital supplies.
