Snowfall Adds To Displaced Families’ Problems

The first snowfalls in Kabul created new problems for dozens of displaced families living under tents in the city.

Same is the story of displaced families on other parts of the country.  

The families have migrated to Kabul from insecure parts of the country.

TOLOnews reporter Nabilla Ashrafi, who met with at least 30 displaced families in Kart-e-Parwan area in Kabul, said they ‘really need help in terms of materials to keep them warm in the cold weather’.

Some of the families are living in the area for the past seven years.

“We did not have firewood until yesterday. My children are feeling sick and the doctors have advised to keep them warm. How can keep them warm? We do not have food and life is getting difficult as the weather gets cold,” said Fawzia, member of a displaced family.

Moalem Khan, member of a displaced family, said the cold weather brings more problems to them.

“We were living in Kunduz and came here seven years ago. We live under tents. We are faced with numerous challenges,” he said.

“We live here for the past 13 years, but no one has ask about us so far. I work in the (Kabul) municipality. My salary is not enough for my family,” said Abdul Kabir, a resident of the area.

Recent statistics of the United Nations show that more than 390,000 people have been displaced in the country due to war and insecurity since the beginning of this year.

Out of the total number, only 93,000 people have been displaced in the eastern Nangarhar province of whom a big number are living under tents in Jalalabad and Kabul cities and are waiting for humanitarian aids.
