The death toll from rainstorms and heavy flooding in Afghanistan’s Central and Eastern regions left at least 37 people dead, more than 240 injured and many more displaced, with damage and destruction to roads, bridges, houses and public buildings.
After decades of conflict, nine in ten Afghans live in poverty. Now, flash floods in Afghanistan have left thousands homeless, with many still missing or trapped in their homes beneath debris and mud. Urgent aid is needed such as shelter, medical supplies, food, and clean water.
The people of Afghanistan are in the grip of one of the world’s worst crises, again.
Your help is urgently needed. You can help give people displaced inside Afghanistan the life-saving support they need to survive.
Give today to protect these families who so desperately need your help.

Afghans have suffered more than 40 years of conflict, natural disasters, chronic poverty, food insecurity and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic. Violence in Afghanistan is worsening in intensity and spreading in reach – causing even more human suffering and displacement. Their resilience and the resilience of their host communities is being stretched to the absolute limit.
Today, nearly 6 million Afghans have been driven out of their homes and their country by conflict, violence and poverty.
UNHCR and partners are assisting newly displaced Afghans with emergency shelter, food, health, water and sanitation support and cash assistance, despite challenges in accessing vulnerable groups.
UNHCR has continued its humanitarian response during the most recent outbreak of violence, and has provided life-saving support to over 477,000 newly internally displaced persons in 2021 through emergency programming — including the provision of tents, cash, hygiene kits and other essential items.
UNHCR also helps by facilitating voluntary repatriation for Afghan refugees from Iran, Pakistan and other countries, once it is established that their return is voluntary, safe, dignified and durable. Since 2002, UNHCR has supported the return of over 5.2 million refugees to Afghanistan, including over 900 refugees so far in 2021.
Afghan returnees are provided with cash grants to help address their immediate needs, as well as basic health services like malnutrition screening and vaccinations, mine risk education, information on school enrollment and overnight transit assistance. They are also assisted with reintegration into their communities.
