Amidst intense fear and uncertainty in Afghanistan, we are seeing thousands of Afghan families, particularly women and children, fleeing each day. Many are seeking refuge in Iran. Relief International is providing immediate assistance to Afghan refugees crossing the border in search of safety, including food, water, and shelter - as one of the few international non-profits working in Iran
Some half a million are displaced in Afghanistan this year alone. As insecurity and violence increased over the course of the past few weeks, daily movements from Afghanistan to Iran rose to an average of 5,000 people per day. The situation is changing quickly. Many Afghans are extremely anxious about what the future holds. RI has supported Afghans in Iran since 2008 providing healthcare, education, and many other services offer to Afghan refugees seeking safety and a better life.
Through our emergency response we expect to reach tens of thousands of Afghan refugees arriving in Sistan and Baluchistan. By taking action now, your gift will help provide urgent assistance to the most vulnerable families. Our teams are assessing families' most urgent needs and, with your help, they will give the opportunity of basic services such as health, education, food security and sanitation to the most vulnerable.
Support Afghan communities seeking a better life in Iran on their path to recovery from decades of violence. Relief International is one of the few international organizations authorized to operate in Iran and provide for the immediate and long-term needs of Afghan refugees fleeing across the border and seeking safety from the violence in their home country.
