KABUL, APR 14: In Kabul, a number of internally displaced families complain about the lack of shelter, schools, work, and healthcare services. These families live in areas where they have been displaced due to war, insecurity, or drought.
The lack of electricity, clean water, schools, mosques, and hospitals are considered some of their main issues.
Ajab Gul, an internally displaced person from Kandahar, says: “In a place like this, even animals cannot survive; but we are forced to live here because we have nowhere else to go. When it rains, we face many problems. We were displaced from our own areas, and the government is not helping us.”
Around these homes, children are seen playing barefoot in the dirt and stones.
Many children are deprived of education due to the distance from schools, while others are unable to attend due to economic hardships.
They are asking Islamic Emirate and humanitarian organizations for help.
Mohammad Wali, also displaced from Kandahar, said that: “The walls of our homes are not concrete and when it rains, they collapse. We are asking the government to provide shelter for us.”
Officials have previously stated that they are working to solve the problems of internally displaced persons and help them return to their own areas and homes in their provinces.
