UN Refugee Agency Reports 10 Million Displaced in Afghanistan Since 2021

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has reported that over 10 million Afghans have been displaced since the Taliban took control of the country in August 2021. This includes both internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees who have fled to neighboring countries. The UNHCR cited ongoing conflict, economic hardship, and a lack of basic services as key drivers of displacement. The agency has called for increased humanitarian assistance and support for Afghan refugees in neighboring countries.
