The cold weather, snowfall, and lack of shelter are among the challenges that displaced people in Kabul complain about.

They urge officials at the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation to provide job opportunities and shelter for the displaced in their original provinces.

Zulaikha, one of the displaced individuals from Mazar-e-Sharif, said: “We were hungry and thirsty; we came and took refuge in Kabul. Now that they are relocating us elsewhere, if there is no land or shelter, these children will perish.”

The challenges faced by displaced families are numerous these days. They are in need of shelter and fuel to warm their homes.

Raz Mohammad, another displaced person, said: “We eat dry bread with tea. We have no heater or fuel. Our request to the Minister of Refugees is to provide us with land and create job opportunities for us.”

This comes as yesterday (Sunday), the process of relocating more than a hundred displaced families from Kabul to Kunduz began.

According to Sardar Shirzad, head of the department for addressing the situation of internally displaced persons, each displaced family has received $200 from the Camp Coordination and Management Committee. After resettling in their original areas in Kunduz, they will receive 1,031 US dollars and other humanitarian aid from partner organizations.
