The ability of the UN and NGOs to stay and deliver depends on the removal of bureaucratic hurdles by the parties, staff safety, and additional funds being urgently mobilized. Some 156 non-governmental organizations and UN agencies have delivered assistance throughout Afghanistan. A temporary health clinic and mobile health teams are providing health services to these people.ĭespite a worsening security situation, humanitarian agencies are staying and delivering to people in need, reaching 7.8 million people in the first six months of this year. They identified an additional 4,522 displaced persons in need of shelter, food, sanitation and drinking water. Ten teams were deployed today to assess the situation for people staying outside in parks and open spaces. Most of those staying in Kabul are hosted by friends and family, but a growing number are staying in the open, making them especially vulnerable. They have received food, household items, water and sanitation support, and other assistance. Many people are arriving in Kabul and other large cities, seeking safety from the conflict and other threats.īetween 1 July and 5 August 2021, the humanitarian community verified more than 5,800 internally displaced persons who had arrived in Kabul.
In the last week, inter-agency teams have identified tens of thousands of people who have fled conflict in different parts of the country and are in urgent need of assistance.
OCHA reports that so far this year, nearly 390,000 people have been newly displaced by conflict across Afghanistan, with a huge spike since May.
