“What is our Future?” Afghanistan on a knife-edge

One year since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, this new report from Islamic Relief is calling on the international community to step up efforts to address the country’s economic collapse. Afghanistan is now one of the world’s biggest humanitarian crises, with rising poverty, hunger and malnutrition. Based on needs assessments and interviews with women, men and children across the country, the report sets out how the crisis is affecting millions of vulnerable people. Their income and livelihoods have been decimated and they are finding themselves turning to increasingly harmful ways of coping, often with women and girls facing the highest risks. The report sets out 10 steps the international community must prioritise in order to save lives, protect livelihoods and ensure a better future for Afghan civilians.
