The World Health Organization has warned that with the current humanitarian budget, it is likely that 24 mothers will die every day in Afghanistan due to preventable diseases.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: The World Health Organization published a post on the X platform and said that this number is expected to increase significantly.
