NRC Calls for Urgent Aid for Families Displaced by Pakistan Attacks in Eastern Afghanistan
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has called for urgent humanitarian aid for families displaced by recent fighting between Taliban forces and Pakistan in Afghanistan. The group said on Friday that thousands of families have been forced from their homes by the latest border violence.
According to the NRC, many of the displaced are now living in poorly equipped tents and in areas with little or no access to basic services, including shelter, clean water and healthcare. The aid group warned that emergency support is now critical to meet their most basic needs.
The appeal comes as heavy rain and flooding continue to affect parts of southern and eastern Afghanistan, worsening conditions for already vulnerable families and increasing pressure on local communities and aid providers.
Recent border clashes between Taliban and Pakistani forces have triggered fresh displacement in already unstable areas, particularly in eastern provinces where communities frequently face insecurity and limited state support.
Afghanistan is also facing overlapping humanitarian crises, including conflict, climate shocks, poverty and mass return movements, leaving millions dependent on outside assistance.
The NRC says immediate aid is essential to prevent the situation from worsening further for families already displaced by conflict and natural disasters.
