This is a record-breaking emergency. #Afghanistan is facing the sharpest rise in malnutrition ever. Children are being hit hardest. We need sustained funding to save lives.

Thousands of Afghan families forced to leave Pakistan cross into #Afghanistan daily — at a time when already 15 million people do not know where their next meal will come from. Our representative is on the ground and talks about what the returnee families urgently need.

The first thing that families forced to leave Pakistan & return to #Afghanistan receive at the border is high-energy biscuits from WFP. We urgently need $25 million by year’s end to help these returnees rebuild & restart their lives.

Hundreds of thousands of Afghan refugees have been forced to return to Afghanistan. UN and NGO partners are working in unison to be the first port in the storm as they arrive.
