Afghanistan continues to endure a complex humanitarian crisis characterized by conflict, displacement, poverty, and widespread food insecurity.
Decades of war and the Taliban's takeover in 2021 have left millions in Afghanistan in dire need of humanitarian assistance, leading to widespread displacement and a collapsing healthcare system. In 2024, over half the population requires aid due to critical food insecurity and economic fragility exacerbated by recurrent natural disasters like droughts and floods.
Malnutrition is escalating, affecting over 3 million children under five and more than 1 million pregnant and breastfeeding women, while the healthcare system struggles amid outbreaks of cholera, polio, and measles. Women's and girls' rights are severely restricted under the "Law on the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice," limiting their access to education, healthcare, and employment. Displacement continues with over 730,000 Afghan returnees from Pakistan in the past year, many needing urgent reintegration support.
Urgent priorities include addressing widespread food shortages, ensuring adequate shelter and heating for families, and providing psychosocial support to aid recovery.
Airbnb rehoused 20,000 Afghan refugees in 6 months during 2022 in Canada, by working with a wide array of resettlement organizations, local governments, international partners, and hosts.
