1 Million internally displaced transferred to home areas: Ministry

KABUL (TOLOnews): The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation has given statistics that there are three million internally displaced people in the country, one million of whom were transferred to their home areas.

Abdul Mutalib Haqqani, a spokesman for the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation, said that the preparations for the transfer of about 60,000 internally displaced people to their provinces in the near future are being made by the Ministry.

Abdul Mutalib Haqqani said: “We have almost three million displaced people inside Afghanistan, of which one million have been transferred to the provinces, they have been given food aid, transportation and have been transferred to their villages.”

Mohibullah, who came to Kabul from Laghman due to insecurity and has been living in Kabul for several years, said that his and his family’s difficulties multiply with the arrival of winter.

“We ask the Islamic Emirate to give us land, we don’t have any place, we don’t have food,” Mohibullah said.

“We want the government to help us, we need a lot of help this winter,” said Anwar, another displaced person.

Humaira, who is Mohibullah’s daughter-in-law, said that she is worried about the future of her children.

“Our children do not have access to school. They cannot study. We have not been helped,” Humaira said.

The ministry has pledged to address the challenges of internally displaced people and provide assistance to them.
