The Situation

For decades, Afghanistan has been under despair, ravaged by cycles of conflict and violence. Recent, fast-moving political developments, along with ongoing and recurring droughts has forced hundreds of thousands of people in rural areas to flee their homes for city centres in search of support. Because of the unstable political situation, economic supply chains are cut off, and many Afghanis are being left to fend for themselves. Many are currently living without food, water, or shelter. They are facing their second drought in three years, and approaching famine-like conditions. This situation may worsen depending on how the new political situation develops.
