Humanitarian Crisis in Afghanistan Region

As the onset of winter and the possibility of war grow closer for Afghanistan, UNICEF is doing all it can to help millions of children and women survive what is shaping up to be a major humanitarian crisis. More than 5 million people - 70 per cent of them children and women - already rely on humanitarian aid to survive, and the numbers could rise significantly.
