Afghanistan: Over 1,000 families displaced in Kunduz due to Taliban-Military conflicts
Kabul, May 5 (IBNS): At least 1,000 families have been living in make-shift shelters in Afghanistan's Kunduz province, after conflicts between the Taliban and the national forces displaced them a fortnight ago, local media reports said.
According to local officials, these displaced families are facing several problems, including the scarcity of basic necessity of food and water.
"Almost 1,000 families have been displaced following clashes between security forces and the Taliban in Qala-e-Zal district," Tolo News quoted member of Kunduz provincial council Aminullah as saying.
He added, "Their situation is concerning."
Most of the displaced families are presently residing in the outskirts of the Dasht-e-Abdan area in the outskirts of Kunduz City.
The outlet quoted a resident as saying, “We left our houses in search of safety when clashes intensified between government forces and the Taliban.”
Another said, "We have chosen to live in Dasht-e-Abdan as we left our homes due to heavy conflicts. We need food. We are living in a desert. We need government’s assistance."
