December 2021 - Before the Taliban takeover, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan was already one of the worst in the world. Since the Taliban takeover, humanitarian needs have worsened, and the challenging operational context has been further complicated. In 2022, 24 million people are projected to require humanitarian assistance due to conflict, chronic food insecurity, displacement, the coronavirus (COVID-19) and climatic events. With GAC’s support and other donors, the ICRC’s humanitarian operations aim to provide protection, emergency relief, and other essential services to vulnerable Afghans and promote respect for international humanitarian law. Project activities include: (1) providing and improving health services; (2) distributing hygiene kits and providing cash assistance to the most vulnerable people; (3) improving water and sanitation services; (4) increasing the protection of people affected by violence; and (5) promoting respect for humanitarian principles and international humanitarian law.
