This photograph taken on February 25, 2024 shows an Afghan burqa-clad woman along with her children arriving at a health post in Gandanchusma village of Badakhshan province. Malnutrition has been exacerbated by the upheaval sparked by the Taliban's sweep to power in 2021. Ten percent of children under five in Afghanistan are malnourished and 45 percent have stunted growth -- one of the world's highest rates, according to the United Nations.
