NEW DELHI -- Nasimeh came to the Afghan Red Crescent Society's 500 Family Clinic in Kabul for a routine check-up when doctors told the 28-year-old she was pregnant with her fourth child, just five months after giving birth to a severely malnourished baby.

Her husband is unemployed, and the family struggles to afford basic food, leaving them undernourished.
