In #Afghanistan, restrictions on humanitarian efforts supporting women and girls are hampering aid workers' ability to reach those most in need.
Women humanitarians must be able to do their jobs, fully, safely and without obstruction.

🚨 Third Update: Several Taliban fighters assaulting a male protester today. Women nearby can be heard crying and pleading as the incident unfolds. Reports indicate that tensions remain high following protests over the detention of women and girls.
I am deeply alarmed that for a 3rd consecutive day scores of women in #Herat continue to be arbitrarily arrested & detained for violating the Taliban’s dress code. It is illegal and unacceptable. The arrests must stop and the women must be released immediately. #Afghanistan

Kabul Khair Khana Two young men were mysteriously killed.Locals say the Taliban detained & tortured innocent men,then killed them. Now they call them“kidnappers” to justify it.
If they were guilty,
where was the trial?

Hundreds of people killed and injured.
Tens of thousands displaced and pushed into hunger.
Homes, schools, hospitals hit.
Since late February, renewed cross-border hostilities have worsened an already severe humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
A sustained ceasefire is critical.
I fully support this clear, strong and important message from @UNHumanRights To all relevant States, please read, listen, take note and act. Protect #afghans from involuntary return. Respect their human rights and international law. Avoid refoulement. #Afghanistan is not safe.
Floods have torn through communities across #Afghanistan, destroying homes, livelihoods and vital infrastructure.
Humanitarian teams are responding, but funding gaps are slowing aid when it’s needed most.
More support is urgently needed. 📹
States must halt involuntary returns of Afghan refugees & asylum-seekers to Afghanistan.
@volker_turk calls on States to uphold their int'l legal obligations & protect Afghans by refraining from any action that exposes them to irreparable harm upon return.

Afghan women, children & men continue to be pushed out of countries where they had sought safety, forcing them to return to Afghanistan against their will & exposing them to grave risk.
@volker_turk calls on States to halt these involuntary returns.

1708 days ago the lights of education were turned off for millions of Afghan girls.
Since then their tears hopes & voices have been ignored by the world.We will not stop speaking until every Afghan girl can return to school.

74% of Afg’s population is facing food insecurity.This is neither the first nor the last tragedy millions Afghans continue to suffer under the same painful reality.
The more the Taliban impose their extremist policies,the more the world and international aid distance themselves.
