The Kabul Tribune (KT) — UNHCR says recent conflict has affected nearly 35,000 people in southeastern Afghanistan, highlighting growing humanitarian needs in the region.

In a statement, UNHCR Afghanistan said it is working alongside other UN and humanitarian agencies to support affected families with emergency assistance, including tents, solar lamps and essential relief items.

The agency said the aid aims to address the urgent needs of displaced and vulnerable communities impacted by the violence.

The latest assistance comes as humanitarian organizations continue to respond to recurring conflicts and displacement in parts of Afghanistan, where limited access to basic services and shelter remains a major concern. Aid agencies have repeatedly warned that ongoing insecurity and economic challenges are exacerbating the situation, leaving many families in need of sustained support.
