AFGHANISTAN EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCY

AFGHANISTAN EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCY

Total Amount Collected: $8,883

Amid of the recent three consecutive earthquake situation that hit Afghanistan. Afghanistan is currently facing another complication due to conflicts. Following the announcement by the Government of Pakistan to repatriate undocumented foreigners, there has been an increase in the number of Afghans crossing from Pakistan to Afghanistan on a daily basis.

Most are voluntary returns although a small, but sharply increasing number, are deportations. In the first nine days of November, 7,200 individuals were deported to Afghanistan, representing an eight-fold increase compared to October.

People arriving at the borders are exhausted and require urgent emergency assistance as well as psychosocial support. Interviews with returnees indicate the rate of arrest of Afghan nationals in Pakistan has increased significantly, with undocumented Afghans most severely affected.

In Afghanistan, UNHCR is boosting cash assistance for vulnerable cases, and has finalized a new tool with biometric capabilities to track, monitor, and increase accountability for the delivery of cash assistance. Core relief items are being pre-positioned with additional supplies ready to be deployed from UNHCR’s regional stockpile in Termez, Uzbekistan.

UNHCR maintains a non-return advisory for Afghanistan, which has been in place since August 2021, and continues to call for a bar on forced returns of Afghan nationals to a country still impacted by recurrent conflict, instability and climate-induced disasters.
