Protection Cluster and Housing, Land and Property Task Force (HLP TF) have submitted a formal advocacy letter to the governor of Herat in September 2017, who has taken action to stop relocation of people and destruction of shelters for the winter time. The Governor Office has committed to officially communicate with all relevant sectoral governmental departments to prevent any potential forced eviction. Despite it, some IDP shelters along Herat Karokh main road were destroyed in November 2017. This particular case is of concern in light of the winter season coming, which means that people will be out in the street during the coldest times of the year. The problem has been brought to the attention of DoRR and Deputy Governor. Protection Cluster and HLP TF are advocating to ensure effective protection prior, during and after an eviction of individuals, groups and communities against forced evictions and its consequences in line with Annex 4 of the National IDP policy.
