Humanitarian aid/UNHCR/Southwest Asia (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran)

Description What is done in the programme or project and why, what results are pursued, who benefits from the activities and who are involved in the implementation.

The refugee situation in Afghanistan has continued for forty years, and Afghans make up the the second largest refugee population in the world. Uncertain security situation continues to drive both internal displacement and refugee movements, especially to neighboring Pakistan and Iran. The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan has worsened since 2018 because of severe drought, and the number of people in need of humanitarian aid has almost doubled. The UNHCR assists and protects refugees, IDPs and returnees. 1 million euros is suggested to the UNHCR' Afghanistan situation operation.
