Afghanistan: 1000s of displaced people still live in Kabul

KABUL, 07 December 2021, (TON): Officials at the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriations (MoRR) said that there are still thousands of internally displaced and homeless people in Kabul which are in need of urgent basic humanitarian assistance.

They added that the ministry has so far relocated 4,000 internally displaced families to their home provinces.

Mohammad Arsalah Kharoti, deputy minister of refugees and repatriations, said “this assistance is not enough, people have lots of problems in Afghanistan and full attention must be paid to their challenges. The pledges of the international community have not been sufficiently fulfilled and have not reached Afghanistan.”

Meanwhile, some internally displaced people complained that their challenges have not been adequately addressed, saying they are in dire need of shelter.

Tawus Khan, 50, fled from Helmand province to Qanbar crossroads in Kabul during the battles between the Islamic Emirate and the former government. He said he has two wives and 18 children.
