INTERSOS AFGHANISTAN

In Afghanistan, INTERSOS continued to support communities in Kabul, Kandahar, Uruzgan and Zabul provinces, with particular attention to boys and girls, mothers, people with disabilities and elderly people at risk, as well as displaced persons and returnees. We carried out protection, health and nutrition activities, including the distribution of non-food items and cash assistance to the most vulnerable sections of the communities. More specifically, we provided medical consultations, medicines, referrals to specialized services where needed, support to the local health system on immunization, as well as maternal, emergency and trauma services. In addition, our humanitarian staff assisted people in need through nutrition programmes for children, pregnant and lactating women. Additionally, in terms of protection, we provided individual case management, mental health and psychosocial support services, economic and entrepreneurial support. Children’s safe spaces were created to ensure a safe environment for minors at risk.
