John, this statistic stopped me in my tracks, and I wanted to share it with you:
One million children in Afghanistan are at risk of the most severe form of malnutrition, and hunger continues to rise every day.
The shift in power six months ago displaced millions of people and pushed 97% of Afghans into poverty. And now, the conflict in Ukraine is causing food and fuel prices to rise dramatically in other parts of the world — putting even more families at risk of hunger and starvation.
John, the crisis in Ukraine is causing tragic repercussions in places like Afghanistan, where millions of families are already going hungry. The conflict in Ukraine is causing a dire ripple effect to those suffering in Afghanistan.
Please, can you make a donation today to help us reach more children and families in crisis areas like Afghanistan? John, during Ramadan, we are offering a limited-time dollar-for-dollar match so we can reach more people in need with critical aid, including emergency food.

In crisis zones like Afghanistan, millions of people struggle to access basic needs. Displaced families rely on the IRC to provide food, health care, cash assistance and more.
We have been in Afghanistan through crisis after crisis, and we will continue to stay and deliver critical aid as long as we are needed. But we urgently need your help, John.
Your gift — matched today to make 2X the impact — will help people facing hunger in Afghanistan and around the world to survive, recover and rebuild their lives.
Thank you for all you do for children and families in crisis. We are so grateful for your support — and whether you are observing the holy month of Ramadan or not, I hope this month is full of blessings, peace and prosperity.
Ramadan Kareem,
Madiha Raza
