In 2024, communities in Afghanistan continued to face significant challenges to access basic necessities such as healthcare, food and clean water. The humanitarian situation in the country remains extremely dire as a result of decades of armed conflict, economic hardship and natural disasters.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) worked to respond to humanitarian challenges across Afghanistan by supporting healthcare, providing physical rehabilitation services, assisting people in establishing livelihoods and incomes, and improving access to clean water, sanitation and energy.
