“Most of the people who had some opportunity already have left the country and here still dozens of families lost their every thing and become IDP in Kabul and some other cities where they live in tents and they need some supports because the government didn’t have any plan for them.”

From 1 January to 24 July 2021, 389,645 individuals fled their homes due to conflict. A total of 32 out of 34 provinces had recorded some level of forced displacement. Constrained humanitarian access hinders assessments, thus preventing verification of the full extent of displacement and undermining the provision of assistance and services. Displacement affects all individuals differently with needs, vulnerabilities and protection risks evolving over time due to exhaustion of coping mechanisms and only basic emergency assistance provided following initial displacement. Inadequate shelter, food insecurity, insufficient access to sanitisation and health facilities, as well as a lack of protection, often result in precarious living conditions that jeopardises the well-being and dignity of affected families.
