How many acute watery diarrhoea cases were reported in Afghanistan in 2025?
WHO reported 161,791 cases of acute watery diarrhoea with dehydration in Afghanistan during 2025.
What the figure or term means
The surveillance category and dehydration qualifier matter.
Unsafe water, sanitation gaps, displacement, and health access can influence outbreaks and reporting.
The count is not automatically a laboratory-confirmed cholera total.
Use WHO’s exact disease-category wording.
How to use this information responsibly
Current sources show how restrictions, funding cuts, disease, malnutrition, and access barriers overlap, especially for women and children.
National figures should not be used to diagnose an individual, predict one child’s future, or flatten the experiences of all Afghan women and families.
