Afghanistan’s refugee crisis is one of the biggest humanitarian crises our world has faced. More than four decades of conflict, instability, and ensuing chronic poverty has left an estimated 24 million Afghans in dire need of humanitarian assistance and driven more than 6 million people out of their homes. Women and children are among those most affected – they make up 80% of newly displaced Afghans. The fundamental rights of women and young girls are under threat and more and more children are out of school each day.
And now, Afghans face the risk of the worst winter in 15 years with temperatures as low as -29.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Unable to afford fuel, more than 160 people have died and children have been seen rummaging through a snowy field in Kabul in search of plastic to heat their homes.
