A dire humanitarian situation is unfolding in Afghanistan, where the civilian population is facing increasing challenges. The return of over six million Afghans from neighboring countries has created additional humanitarian needs. The country is already dealing with overlapping crises, including recurring climate shocks and regional tensions.

The situation for women and girls has also become more difficult since the Taliban retook power. Further details on the situation in Afghanistan are available from ReliefWeb, which has published a press release on the matter. The release highlights the struggles faced by millions of Afghans due to steep cuts in humanitarian and development funding.
