  • Increased Taliban interference and detainment of aid workers in 2023 continues to challenge relief actors’ ability to deliver principled humanitarian assistance, according to the UN.
  • Humanitarian actors had reached 26.3 million people in Afghanistan with assistance as of July, exceeding target totals for all of 2023.
  • Macroeconomic stabilization and recent harvests have resulted in fragile food security improvements in Afghanistan; however, at-risk households are experiencing disproportionate levels of food insecurity and the use of negative coping mechanisms remains widespread.
