Secure Donation
UNHCR | Afghanistan Emergency
After years of war and violence, and being uprooted from their homes, thousands of Afghan families are being forced to return to Afghanistan, a country ravaged by four decades of conflict, where nine in 10 people live in poverty, and the rights of women and girls are directly at risk.
Survivors of the recent earthquake are sleeping in the open, exposed to the elements.
As winter bites, and temperatures plummet to –25 degrees Celsius, families are finding themselves with no home, no livelihood, and a cold winter. They urgently need your support.
UNHCR and partners are on the ground, racing to deliver emergency supplies like tents for families. Our teams are also at the key border points, providing vital healthcare, legal aid and psychosocial support to people returning to the country. We are giving families cash assistance to buy essential items like food, warm clothes and medicines, along with emergency and long-term shelter. And helping them rebuild their lives and integrate back into their communities, with a focus on empowering women and girls.
But there is so much more to do. With your help, we can protect families from the cold.
Please donate today. Afghan families need your protection this winter.
