NRC Calls for Urgent Aid for Families Displaced by Taliban-Pakistan Border Clashes in Eastern Afghanistan
KABUL (Afghan Verified) — The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has called for urgent humanitarian aid for thousands of families displaced by recent border clashes between Taliban forces and Pakistan in eastern Afghanistan.
NRC stated that the families have been forced from their homes by the latest violence along the border and are now living in poorly equipped tents with limited or no access to basic services, including shelter, clean water and healthcare.
The organization highlighted that heavy rain and flooding in southern and eastern Afghanistan have worsened the situation for the displaced families, amid overlapping humanitarian crises across the country.
These border clashes have triggered fresh waves of displacement in the eastern provinces, leaving the affected populations in precarious conditions.
NRC's appeal underscores the immediate needs for assistance to provide adequate shelter, water, healthcare and other essentials to mitigate the risks faced by the displaced families.
