Procurement and prepositioning of specialized nutritious foods for treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) in children aged 6-59 months and pregnant breastfeeding women for winterization. ltpgtFood insecurity in Afghanistan remains alarmingly high. According to the latest
Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (May – October 2023), around 17.2
million Afghans (35 per cent) are experiencing high levels of acute food
insecurity, classified in Crisis or Emergency (IPC Phase 3 or 4) in April 2023.
This includes nearly 2.8 million people (around 6 per cent) experiencing
Emergency (IPC Phase 4) levels of food insecurity.  Around 29.2 million people over two thirds of
Afghanistan’s population require multi sectoral humanitarian assistance in
2023.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgt
