is There something worse than the war to a population? Yes, to see that the conflict cyst and the humanitarian situation worsens. Is that the afghans come to perceive in the last five or six years, and the UN has been found to assess the humanitarian needs for 2020. Beyond the battles that put their lives at risk, years of conflict and successive have left them without the ability to cope with the crisis and with little hope of recovery if the present conditions persist. Hence, the only dream of young people is to emigrate.
“The humanitarian consequences of the crisis affecting every aspect of life in all corners of the country”, summarizes the report on Afghanistan of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian. As a result of your new assessment, the UN estimated that a quarter of the nearly 38 million afghans will need humanitarian aid by 2020. Two-thirds have less than 25 years, so not knew the taliban regime (or were too young to remember him). Have grown between the hope of a better life and the disappointment because I am not getting.
hunger and malnutrition are an everyday reality for 40% of the population. Aggravated by the last drought, the UN estimates that 14,28 million afghans will be in a situation of food insecurity in the early months of the year. The deterioration of the living conditions is especially acute among the millions of families displaced by the conflict and who lack shelter, and health services. A third of the population does not have access to a health center less than two hours away from their home. And 3.7 million children are not in school.
not a single one of the 34 provinces is a pound, but the problems are more severe in rural areas than in urban areas, where although scarce, there are some services and jobs. With the end of the taliban regime in 2001, he awaited the return of the afghan refugees in the neighbouring countries. Five million made it, but the lack of opportunities and violence continue to expulsándoles. According to data of the International Organization for Migration, 2.3 million have gone since 2012.
The majority of them have chosen to neighbouring countries (63 % Iran, and 22 % in Pakistan); only 12 % were directed to Europe (including Turkey). Even so in the European Union, the afghans have become this year the largest group of those who arrive illegally, exceeding the syrians. The 16.861 afghans accounted for by Frontex, the border agency of the EU, accounting for 19.2% of total migrants and the double by 2018. However, this increase is mostly a result of the US sanctions to Iran, where afghan refugees are suffering a growing pressure to leave.
not even the news about the victims of terrorist attacks and military operations reflect the gravity of the tragedy in afghanistan. After the numbers of dead and wounded, families destroyed and lives devastated by mutilations that limit personal independence and the ability to work. The UN estimates that 4 million afghans are living with physical disabilities. Of the mental problems that generate tension by the fighting or the loss of family and friends from violent acts, there are not even reliable statistics.
in Addition, the insecurity thrives with the most vulnerable. Women and girls are victims of male violence is deeply rooted. Forced marriages, begging and working children are common.
