AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoHumanitarian Pressure: UN agencies warn Afghanistan is facing one of the world’s biggest displacement crises as 2.7 million returnees come back in 2025, with nearly two million more expected in 2026—piling stress on livelihoods, water, food, health care, and already fragile eco-zones. Urban Housing & Land Safety: UN-Habitat says the return surge is increasing pressure on cities, peri-urban and rural areas, while UN support in the northeast has identified 425 families for permanent housing and cleared mine-contaminated land for safer reintegration. Climate & Heat Impacts: In Kabul and beyond, scorching summer heat is pushing people toward rivers and pools for relief, with residents linking hotter seasons to climate change and noting power cuts worsen illness risks. Fuel Costs in Herat: Herat residents report fuel prices rising to about 76 afghanis per liter, squeezing transport and everyday goods as fares reportedly jump. Women’s Work Amid Restrictions: A rare job opening is highlighted in Balkh, where UN-backed factory work helps some returnee women earn income despite Taliban limits on education and movement. Press Freedom: Taliban released Paigard News Agency owner Javid Niazi after nearly two months in detention, but rights groups say arrests and restrictions on journalists continue.
