Afghanistan - 20,000 IDPs evicted from makeshift camps in freezing temperatures

The Norwegian Refugee Council calls on the Taliban authorities to halt further evictions of internally displaced people from settlements across Afghanistan, until they have found sustainable alternatives.

"In the midst of another harsh Afghan winter approximately twenty thousand displaced people have been evicted from their homes in Badghis province by Taliban authorities. Many now have no food to feed their children and no way of keeping warm as temperatures drop below zero,” said Neil Turner, NRC's country director in Afghanistan.
