Afghanistan has the world’s fourth highest child mortality rate : more than 25 percent die before reaching age 5. One-quarter of Afghan children under 5 suffer from moderate to severe wasting. Afghanistan ranks at the bottom of the UN gender development index and its maternal death rate is one of the highest in the world”—cover page.
