A provincial hospital worker adds sugar to a bowl of ground almonds as he prepares a food supplement for starving children to be distributed across the province as part of the Strong Food Program. The program is design to address malnutrition at earlier stages. The food supplement's main purpose is to increase children's weight and appetite. The Ministry of Public Health with the help of the Provincial Reconstruction Team-Zabul created this program to combat the leading causes of death for Afghan children under the age of five.
