Afghanistan's population is enduring several overlapping crises that shape everyday life across the country. Poverty and hunger affect many households and limit their ability to meet basic needs. Drought is placing further strain on livelihoods and access to food. Displacement has uprooted families and separated them from stable housing and local support systems. Political arbitrariness adds insecurity and makes it harder for people to plan ahead. These overlapping problems have created a very large humanitarian need. The funds available to relief agencies are insufficient to cover the scale of the emergency, leaving substantial gaps in aid.
