Objet publié

February 2023 - Before the Taliban takeover, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan was already one of the worst in the world. Since the Taliban takeover, humanitarian needs continue to worsen, and the challenging operational context has been further complicated. In 2023, an estimated 28 million people will require humanitarian assistance due to conflict, chronic food insecurity, displacement, the coronavirus (COVID-19), broad economic crisis, and climatic events. With GAC’s support, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is providing life-saving assistance and protection support to displaced populations, migrants and affected communities in Afghanistan. Project activities include: (1) providing emergency shelter and non-food item kits; (2) improving access to water, sanitation and hygiene services; and (3) providing health services, including mental health and psychosocial support.
