More than 8 million people are on the brink of famine in Afghanistan as drought, conflict and the Covid-19 pandemic cause a catastrophic rise in hunger. Children are dying today, and a million more under the age of five are at risk of dying over the next three months.

That's why we're fundraising to help DEC charities and their local partners to provide emergency food and nutrition support for children, support healthcare facilities, supply clean drinking water and protect women and girls.
