As winter approaches, some internally displaced people in Afghanistan are expressing concerns about the lack of basic living facilities. They are calling on the current government and supporting institutions to provide assistance. Many displaced individuals, like Zarghona, who is the breadwinner for eight family members, are worried about the lack of fuel and other necessities. Some are collecting papers to burn for warmth and cooking. The economic crisis and increased unemployment in the country have added to the challenges faced by citizens. Zabiullah Mujahid, the spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate, mentioned efforts being made to provide necessary assistance through the Ministry of Immigrants, acknowledging the economic challenges and calling for international cooperation to help the displaced people.
“We collect some papers to burn, we cook food with it, we warm our stove with it, both children are facing problems, and we are also facing problems,” said Qand Agha, an internally displaced person.
The upcoming winter is approaching, while this year, the economic crisis and the increase in unemployment has made many citizens of the country poor.
