After decades of wars and suffering, they are now facing Afghanistan's worst food crisis. The situation is already critical, every day we see small children in our clinics with severe levels of malnutrition. because they eat nothing but bread crumbs. But when winter comes we will see children hungrier than ever "commented Chris Nyamandi,Save the Children Regional Director in Afghanistan - Afghan children need help from around the world to have even a chance to survive this crisis. We will continue to do everything possible to provide them with the life-saving services they need, but for aid to continue we urgently need governments to increase aid to the country. "
