UNHCR | Afghanistan Emergency
After decades of conflict, nine in ten Afghans live in poverty, unemployment is soaring, and public services are insufficient to meet needs on the ground. The country continues to host one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, with more than half of the population estimated to need humanitarian assistance in 2024. Now, devastating flooding has destroyed homes across the country and forced people to flee once again.
Many displaced families lack sturdy shelters to protect them from the elements, basic items such as blankets, and cash for essentials, including food and medicine.
Your help is urgently needed. You can help give people displaced inside Afghanistan the life-saving support they need to survive.
Please donate now.
