Afghanistan Peace Campaign
The United Nations reported more than three million people in Afghanistan are displaced by conflict and instability, warning urgent international aid is needed to address the humanitarian emergency.
The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) said on Tuesday that Afghanistan is grappling with a deepening humanitarian and displacement crisis, with millions forced from their homes.
More than three million people inside Afghanistan have been displaced by recent conflict and instability, leaving families facing an uncertain future, the agency said in its latest update.
UNHCR noted that financial support remains critical, stressing that funding could provide life-saving assistance and emergency protection for internally displaced Afghans who lack shelter, food, and basic services.
The agency added that only about one percent of its operational budget for Afghanistan is currently covered through UN allocations, underscoring a severe funding gap.
Calling on donor governments and international partners, UNHCR urged the global community to deliver immediate humanitarian aid to support Afghanistan’s most vulnerable populations, including women and children.
Aid workers warn that without urgent resources, millions could be pushed deeper into poverty, hunger, and displacement ahead of the winter months.
Humanitarian observers say Afghanistan’s crisis highlights the consequences of under-funding, adding pressure on the international community to prevent a worsening emergency in a country already struggling with instability.
