WFP Afghanistan Spotlight
• The IPC Acute Food Insecurity analysis confirms that 17.4 million people will experience acute food insecurity (IPC3+) during the winter lean season (November 2025-March 2026)— over 2 million more people than at the same time last year. With current resources, WFP can reach only 2.2 million people per month until January 2026—less than a half of the 4.7 million facing emergency level hunger (IPC 4+) and only 13 percent of the acutely hungry.
• The IPC Acute Malnutrition Projections for 2026 indicate that approximately 3.7 million children under five and 1.2 million pregnant and breastfeeding women are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition.
This shows further deterioration of the nutrition situation in Afghanistan, with the highest-ever year-on-year surge in acute malnutrition recorded.
