Climate & Food Security: UNICEF says climate risks are worsening food vulnerability among Afghan children, as drought, floods, and extreme heat strain food systems and reduce access to water, with gaps in vaccination and healthcare adding pressure. Soil & Farming Threat: Experts warn soil erosion is accelerating across Afghanistan—linked to climate change, reduced vegetation, deforestation, and heavy rainfall—threatening fertile topsoil, raising flood/drought impacts, and increasing long-term desertification risk. Health Access & Polio: Rotary President-elect Olayinka Babalola says polio eradication will continue despite funding pressure, pointing to Afghanistan’s use of needle-free jet injectors to reach children in hard-to-reach, vaccine-resistant communities. Displacement & Aid: Qatar reports it provided over $68 million in humanitarian support in 2025 for refugees and internally displaced people, including Afghans affected by armed violence and natural disasters. Regional Humanitarian Support: Kazakhstan sent nearly 319 tons of humanitarian and medical aid to Afghanistan, including medicines and a specialist healthcare team for consultations and training. Public Health Reminder: WHO reports two new polio cases in Afghanistan, bringing the 2026 total to six.
