Afghanistan is the 41st largest country in the world with an area of 652.860 square kilometers and a population of approximately 39.8 million people. Kabul is the capital and largest city. Afghanistan is located in the world’s dry zone. Following the announcement by Coalition/NATO forces that they will withdraw their troops from Afghanistan in July 2021, there has been an increase in internal violence and clashes, infrastructure damage, and safety concerns. These circumstances resulted in increased humanitarian needs, internal displacements, and a new wave of displaced people fleeing to neighboring countries (primarily Pakistan and Iran) to seek refuge and safety.
