From Termez, Uzbekistan, UNICEF helps keep life-saving humanitarian supplies moving to Afghanistan. With millions of children facing malnutrition, the hub is key to sustaining the delivery of therapeutic nutrition supplies and essential medicines to children and families.

Deeply disturbing news coming from Afghanistan, where children were killed and injured in airstrikes in Kunar and Helmand provinces. Children are paying the highest price in the recent escalation of hostilities. They must be protected at all times.

5 years ago today, girls in Afghanistan were barred from attending secondary school. Since then, millions have been denied the opportunity to continue their education & pursue their aspirations. The doors of Afghanistan's secondary schools must re-open to every girl. @UNICEFAfg

Dreams shattered. Futures snatched. More than 2.6 million girls in Afghanistan have been denied a secondary education since 2021. Girls like Mahira, Rabia and Shafiqa want to learn and have the chance to shape their own lives. But the ongoing ban on secondary education is keeping them out of the classroom. Watch and share their stories to show your support for every girl in Afghanistan.

I met 9 months old Asra, at a health centre in Mazar-i-Sharif. Two weeks ago, she was dangerously malnourished. Today, after early treatment, she is gaining weight & getting stronger. @UNICEFAfg & partners can save #children like Asra if we detect & treat malnutrition early.

“Children and young people in Afghanistan deserve our support,” says @TajudeenOyewale. Thanks to support from the @WorldBankGroup, UNICEF helped more than 500 adolescent girls and boys develop technical skills and enter the job market in 2026.

In Omari Camp close to the Torkham border crossing, I saw how @UNICEFAfg continue to support #returnees, including #children with essential services. Since 2023, more than 6.4 million #Afghans have returned from neighbouring Countries straining already stretched basic services.

On #InternationalLiteracyDay, a stark reminder that 9 in 10 children aged 10 in #Afghanistan are still working towards basic reading proficiency. Investing in #EarlyLiteracy & #Numeracy means investing in Afghanistan’s future. #ForEveryChild, a chance to read, learn & thrive.

At Torkham border with @ADB_HQ Afghanistan Director Luke Fochtman, we met returnee families and spent time with #children at a @UNICEFAfg supported child-friendly space. In moments of uncertainty, these spaces offer children safety, care and a chance to simply be children.

What does humanitarian response look like? Sometimes it looks like this. When recent floods struck Nuristan, Afghanistan, a UNICEF partner, Habib Rahman Rasoolzai, took action, crossing a fast-flowing river to reach a remote household. This way, he was able to gather critical information on the impact of the floods and the urgent assistance required. Habib was supported by UNICEF and his team with essential field safety equipment and risk-mitigation measures while making the crossing. We’re grateful for humanitarian workers like Habib who go to all lengths possible for the well-being of children and families.

Breastfeeding is a baby’s first vaccine, providing essential nutrition and protection against illnesses like diarrhoea and pneumonia. This #WorldBreastfeedingWeek, let’s remember to support mothers in Afghanistan to give every child the healthiest start in life. @UNICEFAfg

Every morning, these three siblings in Bamyan put on their @UNICEF schoolbags and ride a donkey for 30 minutes to reach their community-based class. Their determination inspires us @UNICEFAfg to do our part & help ensure every child can access a safe, quality education.
