Afghan displacement crisis deepens : Pakistan strikes, thousands forced into camps

Thousands of families in Afghanistan have been forced into displacement camps following escalating clashes near the border with Pakistan.

In mountainous regions near the Kunar area, displaced civilians are now living in makeshift tents with limited access to food, healthcare, and education. Many say they fled after shelling hit their villages, destroying homes and schools.

Pakistan’s military says it carried out strikes targeting armed groups, including the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, which it claims operate from Afghan territory. However, Afghan authorities deny these accusations, further complicating tensions between the two countries.

According to the United Nations, nearly 60,000 people have been displaced in eastern and southeastern Afghanistan due to the recent fighting.
