Assistance to around 10,000 vulnerable families in Kabul through an online system was launched at the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR) in Kabul on Tuesday. 
 
The system called (SCOPE) is managed by the World Food Program (WFP) offering services and aid in a transparent way to the poor and displaced people.

According to the Refugees and Repatriation minister, in the next two years, seven million people in need will be registered in this system.

“Aid should be distributed to the people in need, fairly and transparently without any corruption. MoRR and WFP agreed to do this through Scope System,” refugees and repatriation minister Sayed Hussain Alemi Balkhi said.

According to WFP country director, Mick Lorentzen, SCOPE is a database of beneficiaries, a tool for deciding which beneficiaries to assist and a method for providing that assistance to the vulnerable people who need it, all in one system.

“WFP provided its first assistance to nearly 500 displaced and returnee families using Scope in Nangarhar in August this year. Following Nangarhar was Kandahar. WFP recently began to provide SCOPE-based assistance to 1,000 returnees and internally displaced families in Kandahar,” Lorentezen said.

While the government emphasizes addressing challenges facing displaced and poor people’s, in a part of Kabul city thousands of families spend days and nights under tents.

Shayesta Khan fled to Kabul from Nangarhar province due to insecurity. He complained about government and humanitarian institutions for not addressing his problems.

“We have come from Bati Kot district because of war. It is about six to seven years that we live in a camp in Chaman Babrak. Life is very difficult here. There is no work and we do not have shelter and the government is not paying attention to us,” said Shayesta Khan.

Shayesta Khan said he is passing difficult days and nights and his children have been deprived of education.

Meanwhile, statistics of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs show that in the last one week 18,000 people were displaced in eastern Nangarhar province due to fights.

Statistics show that the total number of those displaced in 2017 reached to over 390,000 people.
