Indrika Ratwatte, the former UN deputy special representative for Afghanistan, has warned that the country is experiencing one of the most severe protection crises in the world. He highlighted that the strict restrictions imposed on women and girls have significantly worsened the humanitarian situation.
The former official noted that the massive return of Afghan refugees from neighboring countries is placing immense pressure on local services. Millions have returned recently, many arriving without proper documents, financial resources, or any social support networks to rebuild their lives.
Furthermore, climate-related disasters such as prolonged droughts and sudden floods continue to devastate local communities. Ratwatte emphasized that the ongoing crisis requires a long-term strategic approach to support the vulnerable population effectively.
