Afghanistan

Why Afghanistan? Decades of conflict and violence have left Afghanistan in despair. In 2023, two-thirds of the population – a staggering number – will require humanitarian assistance just to survive.

Ongoing droughts and fast-moving political developments have forced hundreds of thousands to flee to cities for support. Economic supply chains are cut off, leaving many without basic necessities like food, water, and shelter. A second drought in three years has pushed them to the brink of famine. The situation could worsen as the new political situation develops.

At IDRF, we are deeply committed to providing immediate and effective relief to those impacted by natural disasters in Afghanistan. We are working in regions such as Logar and Hazara families in Kunduz and Mazari Sharif.

Eastern Afghanistan has experienced both deadly flash floods and a major earthquake that has left 362,000 people in need of humanitarian assistance. IDRF is providing immediate relief to those in need. We are distributing emergency food parcels and hygiene packages to families and individuals to alleviate food insecurity and ensure access to basic necessities.

In Afghanistan, nearly 40 million people don’t get enough nutrients on a daily basis. To address food insecurity in Pakistan, our team is also providing deserving individuals with a monthly source of food items and hot meals.

Additionally, we are providing safe drinking water to communities and distributing winter packages to benefit displaced individuals living in Afghanistan to keep warm from the harsh winters.

IDRF is committed to improving the health of the community, and we plan to fully stock, equip, and manage a medical clinic in Kabul, providing basic medical services to the minority group of Hazara in the region.
