The ICRC has been serving the people of Afghanistan for over 40 years, protecting, and assisting them amidst the consequences of armed conflicts and overlapping challenges.
The ICRC is responding to the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan by providing basic health care and physical rehabilitation support, helping people establish livelihoods and earn money, reconnecting families that have been separated by the conflicts, and improving access to clean water, sanitary facilities and electricity. We work together with the Afghan Red Crescent Society and other partners of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
Through our Protection of Family Links service, in cooperation with the Afghan Red Crescent Society, we seek to reunite family members separated by armed conflict, other violence, natural disasters, migration or detention. This service also helps restore and maintain family contact and, when needed, facilitates the reunification of minors with their family members.
The ICRC supports seven physical rehabilitation centres across Afghanistan, in Kabul, Nangarhar, Badakhshan, Balkh, Herat, Gulbahar and Helmand. In 2022, we helped more than 13,000 people with physical disabilities, including patients diagnosed with cerebral palsy. If you are living in one of the above-mentioned provinces or a neighbouring one, please visit one of our centres.
