Over 400 health centers closed since Taliban takeover, millions deprived of access to essential services, reveals a recent report by the Norwegian Refugee Council

The humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan under the Taliban is becoming more serious, with urgent needs increasing across the country.

Half of the Afghan population is now in need of humanitarian assistance, according to a report released today by the Norwegian Refugee Council. This alarming situation is further exacerbated by the plight of nearly four million food-insecure children, a clear indication of the deteriorating situation.

The closure of over four hundred health facilities since the Taliban assumed control has exacerbated the crisis, leaving millions without access to essential healthcare services. This decline in medical infrastructure has heightened the vulnerability of the Afghan people, raising serious concerns about their well-being and survival amidst these challenging times.
