Afghanistan

Afghanistan is experiencing the compounding effects of decades of conflict, severe drought, food insecurity, climate-related disasters, earthquakes, floods, displacement and gaps in health services. The collapse of the Afghan economy and the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs after the Taliban takeover drove many Afghans into extreme poverty, leaving them unable to pay medical expenses, worsening their social determinants of health, and threatening rights essential for maintaining an adequate standard of living, including the right to food. The result has been life-threatening for many Afghans, including millions of children suffering malnutrition. Almost two-thirds of the Afghan population needed humanitarian aid by the end of 2023.

Afghanaid

Afghanaid is a British humanitarian and development organisation. For 40 years, their dedicated personnel have worked with millions of families in some of the poorest and most remote communities in Afghanistan. Over the past two years, communities have been battling the effects of economic collapse, rising costs of basic necessities and successive droughts, as well as extreme food shortages. Afghanaid have been responding with emergency assistance, providing food, shelter, cash and other vital household essentials to the most vulnerable and supporting families to rebuild and revitalise their livelihoods.

Gaza

The escalating conflict in the Middle East on October 7 and since has created widespread death and destruction. As of January 2024, more than 26,000 people have been killed, including 10,000 children, and over 100 hostages taken by Hamas are still in captivity. Dozens of aid workers and over 150 UN staff have been killed. The UN warns at least 576,000 people in the Gaza Strip are facing famine-like conditions as a result of the conflict. The population also lacks access to electricity and 100% of Gazans are facing crisis levels of food insecurity. This is the highest share of people facing high levels of acute food insecurity that the initiative has ever classified for any area or country.

Yemen remains one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world, with more than 11 million children in need of one or more forms of humanitarian assistance.

Millions of children lack access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene services, and the country continues to experience regular outbreaks of cholera, measles, diphtheria and other vaccine-preventable diseases.
