Over the last few days, militants have seized huge parts of Afghanistan, meaning tens of thousands of people have had to flee their homes to escape conflict and violence.
In addition, it is reported that Taliban commanders have demanded that communities turn over unmarried women to become “wives” for their fighters—a form of sexual violence, human-rights groups say.
Human rights are being disregarded, and many displaced individuals don’t have access to water, food and medication, something we can provide for them.
Decades of war, instability, and drought in Afghanistan has claimed the lives of thousands and pushed millions into extreme poverty. If the weather is as bad as experts are predicting this winter, millions will be threatened with hunger and famine. The people of Afghanistan are in urgent need of help. This winter, save lives in Afghanistan.
