One year ago today, on 15th August 2021, the Taliban took over the capital city of Kabul in Afghanistan. Almost overnight, the reality for Afghan people changed, and they were left living through a violent change of government, mass internal displacement and a financial crisis. Throughout the winter, millions of people were living on the brink of starvation, without enough food. Now, in late summer, armed forces are becoming an increasing presence across the country. Many still living in Afghanistan are becoming afraid to leave their houses to buy basic essentials for fear of armed members of the Taliban in their local areas. It’s not been easy for those leaving the country either. Evacuation pathways have been extremely difficult and expensive. Lots of families have been separated in the process of finding safety, and are living with worry for their loved ones, sometimes not knowing where their family members are, or if they are safe. When people have been able to leave and resettle elsewhere, the journey has been long and complicated, with a lack of prepared housing or support to help them when they finally arrived in Europe or to the US. Many people are still waiting in limbo and without access to employment or education. Thanks to your generosity, over the last year we’ve raised a total of $1.2million which has been distributed to our amazing partners supporting Afghan people across the US and Europe. But the crisis is far from over. Afghan people still need support and solidarity. Please give what you can today to keep supporting those in vital need of help.
