Over 60k Afghans have returned in just 2 weeks after decades seeking refuge in Pakistan. Malnourished & traumatised, they’ve left livelihoods & belongings behind.Afghan Red Crescent | افغاني سره میاشت are providing shelter, healthcare, food & water. But needs are immense. Long-term support is needed!







Afghan families returning from Pakistan to Omari camp, Torkham face severe health crises - dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, scabies outbreak, and suspected measles, TB, dengue. Health teams from افغاني سره میاشت are responding, but services are insufficient. #AfghanistanCrisis

Imagine returning to a homeland you've never seen. Hundreds of thousands are coming back to Afghanistan - some born in Pakistan, now stepping into the unknown. They need support. @IFRC & افغاني سره میاشت will be there - listening, helping, standing with them. Support their work.

With medicine supplies running low, urgent support is needed to help the افغاني سره میاشت respond on the ground. Over 20,000 people have crossed into #Afghanistan via Spin Boldak as of April 1. Many arrive in distress, some children visibly traumatised. #AfghanistanCrisis #IFRC



From the BBC News (UK): The story of an Afghan woman who was born in Pakistan: bbc.com/pashto/article… We have launched a CHF25 million emergency appeal to assist 500k people who have been compelled to return, supporting Afghan Red Crescent | افغاني سره میاشت in delivering life-saving assistance.
