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. Over 23.7 million people inside Afghanistan, and 7.3 million Afghans and host community members in five neighboring countries need support in 2024.

  • Over 23.7 million people in Afghanistan need vital humanitarian relief
  • Over 3.25 million people have been displaced by conflict in Afghanistan
  • Over 5.3 million Afghan refugees and asylum-seekers have been registered in neighboring countries
