United Nations: Afghanistan Becomes the World’s Second-Largest Humanitarian Crisis After Sudan

Published 08/03/2025
SHARE

RASC News Agency: Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, has announced that Afghanistan, with 23 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, is the second most crisis-stricken nation globally, following Sudan. Speaking at a press briefing on Thursday, Dujarric issued a grave warning about Afghanistan’s escalating humanitarian emergency, stressing that more than half of the country’s population urgently requires aid. He further highlighted that food insecurity and malnutrition will remain alarmingly high throughout the first quarter of 2025, with nearly 15 million people one-third of Afghanistan’s population facing acute food shortages.

Additionally, 3.5 million children under the age of five and over one million pregnant and breastfeeding women are at severe risk of malnutrition. Since the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, the regime has systematically imposed draconian restrictions on women and girls, an ongoing violation of their fundamental rights that has significantly worsened the country’s humanitarian catastrophe. The United Nations has warned that, coupled with extreme poverty, widespread hunger, the collapse of the national healthcare system, and a surge in natural disasters, these repressive policies have pushed Afghanistan to the brink of collapse.

This warning comes as Afghanistan endures one of the most severe humanitarian crises of the modern era. Since the Taliban’s takeover, poverty, unemployment, and economic distress have deepened dramatically. The regime’s sweeping purges have displaced millions from their jobs, replacing them with unqualified individuals, further crippling an already fragile economy.
