In Afghanistan, some 12,000 families have been displaced and are in need of immediate assistance amid deadly fighting between Afghan forces and the Taliban. This is a displaced woman speaking from Takhar province.

Golnaar: “We have not come here eagerly. Ten women and 10 men are here together, while we had our own village and house before. What else can we do? Our children and ourselves are sick, and we have no carpets or anything else here.”

Intra-Afghan talks have resumed in Doha as the U.S. and NATO withdrawal nears completion.
