Afghanistan's Hidden Emergency

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ uncovers a silent surge in child deaths from malnutrition in Afghanistan, gathering evidence of the devastating effects of USAID cuts, alongside Taliban restrictions on women.

A powerful documentary uncovers a silent surge in child deaths due to malnutrition in Afghanistan. After USAID cuts earlier this year, foreign aid has dipped to its lowest in decades, and hundreds of clinics have been shuttered, cutting off some of the poorest from medical care. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has gathered evidence of the devastating effects that's having on maternal and newborn deaths and challenged the Taliban government over its harsh restrictions on women, which undermine its push for international recognition and affect how much the world is willing to help its people.
