More than 400 medical facilities have closed down in Afghanistan, one of the world’s poorest countries, after the US cut nearly all aid to the country earlier this year.
The Trump administration has justified its move, saying there were "credible and longstanding concerns that funding was benefiting terrorist groups, including… the Taliban", who govern the country.
The Taliban government denies that aid money was going into their hands.
But the sudden and drastic cuts have been devastating for the people of Afghanistan, particularly women and babies.
The BBC has gathered firsthand evidence of the impact on maternal mortality in the north-eastern province of Badakhshan.
