The people of Afghanistan have lived with conflict for more than four decades. Entire generations have never known peace and millions remain displaced.

Renewed violence and instability have created an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Hundreds of thousands of people have been newly displaced across the country since the start of this year alone. Many had to flee with only the clothes on their back and are struggling to survive in appalling conditions, sheltering in tents made only of cloth.

UNHCR is on the ground and doing everything possible to protect civilians, but urgently needs public support to help it reach families in desperate need. Please help us to protect people forced to flee.

How your donations can make a difference:

£35 can provide five sanitary kits including laundry soap, toilet soap and sanitary napkins.

£52 can buy a core relief kit, providing a family with blankets, sleeping mats, mosquito nets and a kitchen set.

£310 can provide an emergency shelter kit, including a family tent and plastic tarpaulins.
