UNHCR | Afghanistan Emergency

Following decades of conflict, millions of people in Afghanistan are experiencing abject poverty and hunger amid economic collapse, recurrent natural disasters, and the widespread curtailing of human rights, particularly for women and girls. 

Afghanistan remains one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with 23.7 million people estimated to need aid in 2024.  

Earthquakes and the recent flooding this year have exacerbated the vulnerabilities faced by communities struggling to access basic services. Now families are facing winter, and your support is vital. 

UNHCR and partners, are responding to deliver vital humanitarian relief and basic needs support inside Afghanistan, and to Afghans and host community members in neighboring countries.  

But we need your help to do more. More humanitarian aid is urgently needed to protect and assist Afghans. 

Please donate now.
