“The children of Afghanistan are in our thoughts and actions this holiday season. Just because we are far doesn’t mean the pain is not close. Hopefully other generous spirits can bring more attention and healing to their life and death situation,” said Gabriela Hearst. According to Save the Children, years of conflict, natural disasters, particularly droughts, and the fallout of COVID-19 have pushed Afghanistan to the brink of disaster. Millions of Afghan children are growing up in high intensity conflict zones, forcing many families to flee. More than 5 million children are a step away from famine. The Save the Children teams on the ground in Afghanistan are focused on providing children with food, medical care, education and shelter.
“The current situation for children in Afghanistan is dire, with 10 million kids needing humanitarian assistance,” said Janti Soeripto, president and chief executive officer of Save the Children. “Families are experiencing crisis levels of hunger and health care collapse, and Save the Children’s mobile health and nutrition teams are delivering lifesaving support.
