It has doubled.<br \/>\nThe International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says it is important to identify climate change to prevent a severe water crisis that could affect millions of people.<br \/>\nMarch 22 is International Water Access Day.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, the United Nations Children&#8217;s Fund (UNICEF) wrote on its Twitter page on the occasion that 93 percent of children in Afghanistan do not have access to clean water.<br \/>\nUNICEF added that the lack of clean water now and in the future endangered the lives of these children.<br \/>\nThe United Nations Children&#8217;s Fund (UNICEF) also said that the organization would provide clean drinking water to 11.5 million people in Afghanistan by 2022.<br \/>\nConcerns about the lack of clean drinking water in Afghanistan are compounded by the fact that the country does not have large reserves of running water and relies heavily on snow and rain and groundwater during the winter.<br \/>\nUNICEF also said that 100 percent of Afghanistan&#8217;s population is dependent on groundwater, but the organization expressed concern that groundwater levels in many parts of the country, especially in large cities, have dropped significantly. .<br \/>\nThe United Nations Children&#8217;s Fund (UNICEF) has focused on water management and conservation in Afghanistan.<br \/>\nBut recent climate change has led to worries about drought in the country, with less snow and rain.<br \/>\nOfficials in Afghanistan&#8217;s previous government had previously said that drought would increase in the country by 1400 and that the natural disaster would threaten millions of Afghans.<br \/>\nThe United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said last year that the ongoing drought in Afghanistan would affect 17 million Afghans, who make up 42 percent of the country&#8217;s population.<br \/>\nEarlier, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) said in a survey that drought, war and the coronavirus had affected millions of Afghans.<br \/>\nThe committee said the drought had forced some poor families to marry young girls and sell household items to survive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Nations Children&#8217;s Fund and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) have expressed concern about<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":3895,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[120,318],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-afghan-news","category-news-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
