To the Editor: In November 2001 the possibility of widespread malnutrition was reported in Ghor province, Afghanistan, particularly in the Chaghcharan district, which had received no external assistance for 3 months. We performed a rapid health assessment in Chaghcharan town in December 2001 to assess general mortality and acute malnutrition among children younger than 5 years.
