Children Have Less Food in Nepal and Afghanistan
尼泊爾與阿富汗兒童食物短缺
Introduction
Many children in Nepal and southern Afghanistan do not have enough healthy food. This is happening because international groups give less money now.
許多尼泊爾與阿富汗南部的兒童缺乏足夠的健康食物。這是因為國際組織目前的資助金減少了。
Main Body
In Nepal, many children are too thin. The government has special food, but they cannot find the sick children. This is because the USA stopped giving money in 2025. Also, healthy food now costs too much money.
在尼泊爾，許多兒童過於消瘦。政府雖然提供特殊食物，但無法找到生病的孩子。這是因為美國在 2025 年停止了資助。此外，健康食物現在價格太高。
In southern Afghanistan, more babies are very sick. Doctors say 30% more children need help this year. Many clinics closed because they have no money. There is also no rain, so plants do not grow.
在阿富汗南部，更多嬰兒病情嚴重。醫生表示今年需要幫助的兒童增加了 30%。許多診所因缺乏資金而關閉。此外，由於缺乏降雨，作物無法生長。
The leaders in Afghanistan say they want to help children. But they do not talk much with other countries about this problem.
阿富汗領導人表示他們希望幫助兒童。但他們並沒有就這個問題與其他國家進行深入討論。
