Millions of innocent mothers and children are suffering in Afghanistan. We can’t take our eyes off this unspeakable crisis. Tell Congress: Step up and fight for humanitarian aid. [[link removed]]
DEMAND URGENT SUPPORT [[link removed]]
John,
As you read this, 29.2 million people across Afghanistan are desperate for help.
14.2 million are facing food insecurity, and 3.5 million children are acutely malnourished.
U.S.-funded health clinics are countless families’ only lifeline – especially in the most remote, impoverished communities.
But humanitarian aid cuts have already forced 420 clinics to shut down. Others are barely getting by.
“Before, we were fourteen staff working in this clinic,” says Dr. Hashim*, a physician at one of Save the Children’s facilities. “Now, we are five. People wait one to two hours to get services.”
John, the scope of this suffering is unimaginable… and avoidable. Will you speak up while there’s still time to save lives? [[link removed]]
RAISE YOUR VOICE NOW [[link removed]]
In devastating times like this, women and girls always suffer most.
They eat the least when food is scarce. Pregnant mothers suffer dangerous births. Babies die needlessly without care.
Congress has the power to help – but they won’t act fast unless we demand it.
Every day, 167 infants die from preventable causes in Afghanistan. Don’t let your lawmakers look away. [[link removed]]
Thanks for advocating so fiercely,
