On 2 May 2023, 18 month old Mahdi eats a sachet of ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) in his mother Anar’s lap at Daikundi Provincial Hospital in Afghanistan. Mahdi had been checked in to the hospital for treatment of severe acute malnutrition (SAM), but after passing his appetite test, he was discharged to go home. UNICEF supplies RUTF to thousands of hospitals like this one across Afghanistan, helping treat some of the 875,000 children expected to suffer from SAM this year. Azizullah KarimiImage 2 of 2
