INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
This solar year, 1402, was marred by a number of occurrences in Afghanistan & especially that of a humanitarian nature.Not only were
millions of people in the country gripped by poverty but Pakistan started the process of forced deportations of hundreds of thousands of
migrants and residents in Herat were struck by a deadly earthquake.According to the Ministry of Immigrants and Returnees, 1.5 million
immigrants returned to the country this year.On the other hand, 60 people died and 34 others were injured in natural disasters in the last
few days of the year, while 177,000 animals were also killed in the last few weeks.The Herat earthquake was one of the deadliest natural
disasters the country has faced
More than 1,000 people were killed and and nearly 2,000 injured
Most of them were women and children.Thousands of houses in several districts of this province were also destroyed
The Islamic Emirate meanwhile stepped in immediately to help the victims.Groups of immigrants were deported and all their belongings
However, Pakistan&s unilateral decision faced the Islamic Emirate&s anger and criticism.Pakistan&s approach to immigrants also faced
international reactions.Iran also expelled more than 400,000 Afghan immigrants this year, but the Islamic Emirate was able to manage the
crisis and take care of the immigrants.This year, international organizations repeatedly warned of the worsening humanitarian situation in
Afghanistan and said that aid will be reduced and millions of people in Afghanistan will face challenges
The IEA however, repeatedly stated that international organizations are exaggerating the situation in their reports.The negative effects of
climate change in 1402 were also an issue
Representatives of Afghanistan were not invited to a global meeting on climate change that was held in the United Arab Emirates, despite
Afghanistan being the 6th most vulnerable country to climate change in the world.The post Afghanistan witnesses humanitarian crises in 1402
first appeared on Ariana News.
