Wijesara said on Sunday, December 14, after visiting the center, that investment in female health workers in Afghanistan is vital and that female nursing helps malnourished children.

On the other hand, Tajuddin Ayvali, the representative of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Afghanistan, previously said that the country is facing one of the most severe nutrition crises in the world and that 3.5 million children are suffering from acute malnutrition.

According to Ayvali, one million people are also severely underweight and at risk.

It is worth noting that the UN warned in August this year that Afghanistan is facing the most severe wave of child malnutrition.
