The agency’s spokesperson in Geneva, Adrian Edwards, told reporters that people are being accommodated with local Afghan communities for now. However, Afghan host communities have limited absorption capacity and resources. The urgent needs include shelter, clean drinking water and sanitation.
“UNHCR is concerned that families close to conflict-affected areas will be further exposed to violence and humanitarian access could be limited,” said Mr. Edwards.
