Women paying biggest price for aid cuts in Afghanistan: WFP
“More than one million mothers and children no longer benefit from nutritional aid due to a severe lack of funding.”
The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has once again expressed concern about the lack of funding for aid programs for the needy in Afghanistan, saying that women will suffer the most.
The UN agency said on X on Sunday that in Afghanistan, it is the women who bear the heavy burden with less options for livelihood.
“Women are paying the greatest cost for aid cuts in Afghanistan,” WFP said.
“More than one million mothers and children no longer benefit from nutritional aid due to a severe lack of funding.”
According to the organization, four million women and children in Afghanistan are struggling with malnutrition, and the situation will only get worse if funding is not provided.
The spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate Zabihullah Mujahid announced on Wednesday that three Pakistani soldiers, who had been captured by Afghan forces on October 12, 2025, during clashes with Pakistani forces, were released to mark the month of Ramadan. The soldiers were handed over to a Saudi delegation.
According to Mujahid, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, based on a policy emphasizing the maintenance of positive relations with all countries, responded positively to Saudi Arabia’s request and, on the occasion of hosting the negotiating delegation that arrived in Kabul last Monday, released the three Pakistani soldiers.
