As the fighting in Afghanistan spreads, thousands of more families are fleeing for their lives.
The Crisis
It is estimated that since the beginning of the year nearly 550,000 Afghans have been internally displaced within the country – some 244,000 since May alone.
Families speak of having to flee at a moment’s notice, only with the clothes on their backs. The risk of improvised explosive devices attacks by armed groups along the roads is high. They urgently need shelter and protection.
A Little Goes a Long Way
UNHCR is prepared to provide urgent assistance and support reception arrangements - including emergency shelter, food, health, water, sanitation support and cash assistance - despite challenges in accessing people in need. Hygiene packs, including soap and face masks, will also be distributed to help families arriving to stay safe in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
But our stocks are running low. We urgently need your help to scale up our supplies as the situation worsens.
We need your help today to prepare for the worst.
The number of civilian casualties has risen sharply since January, according to UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, and an increasing proportion of women and children were among those targeted.
People Like Maryam Need Your Support
Maryam*, a mother-of-four is among the 400,000 Afghans displaced inside the country since the start of the year by the latest upsurge in violence.
She fled with her four children, parents and brother after opposition forces stormed the area and engaged in running battles with government forces.
Maryam and her family are now staying in Nawabad Farabi-ha camp in northern Afghanistan, where they live in a makeshift tent made from cloth and tied to sticks. Both Maryam and her mother are war widows, struggling to care for their family.

UNHCR is committed to stay and deliver amidst the deteriorating situation and increasing displacement. We’ve activated our emergency preparedness and response and we’re assisting newly displaced Afghans.
Help us prepare so that we can protect these families who so desperately need support.
