Taliban Evicts Hundreds of Displaced Families from Kabul Camp, Killing 2 Children

HeadlineJul 12, 2023

In Afghanistan, two children, aged 4 and 15, died after Taliban authorities forcibly evicted nearly 300 internally displaced families from a makeshift camp in Kabul. The Norwegian Refugee Council documented the settlement’s demolition, saying some 1,700 people were forced into the streets while authorities blocked humanitarian aid groups from the site. Millions of Afghans have been internally displaced following two decades of U.S. occupation and violence, followed by the Taliban takeover in 2021.
