John, IRC teams on the ground are witnessing first hand the food crisis unfolding in Afghanistan.

The latest update is heartbreaking: Nearly all clients who have attended IRC-run health clinics in recent weeks have been women bringing malnourished children for urgent help. And our staff members on the ground are deeply concerned by the numbers of people coming in clinics with severe acute malnutrition — the most extreme and dangerous form of malnutrition.

With almost 23 million Afghans at famine's door, 1 million children at risk of dying without immediate lifesaving treatment and with winter just around the corner, urgent action is needed to prevent famine, John. Please rush your emergency donation to help deliver urgently-needed aid in Afghanistan and crisis zones worldwide:
 
 
 
 
The IRC is supporting 62 health clinics throughout Afghanistan, and the humanitarian response is scaling up. Our teams are working around the clock to get medical treatment and critical cash assistance to displaced children and families. We have been in Afghanistan through thirty years of conflict and crisis — and we will stay as long as we are needed.

John — As a compassionate supporter of the IRC, I know we can count on you in times of crisis. Will you make a special emergency donation to help us reach more children and families in crisis in places like Afghanistan?
 
 
 
 
Your donation today can make all the difference for a malnourished child or displaced family.

Thank you in advance for your generous support of our work.

— Andrea, IRC
