Additional Information / Shotlist Abdul Azeem Toryalay, Medical Referent Assistant (in Dari)
When someone leaves their home, they lose two things: firstly, they lose their job, their source of income, and secondly, they’re separated from the community he grew up in and is familiar with.
CARTON : Due to drought and insecurity, almost 30,000 families have been displaced from neighboring provinces

The displaced families face difficulties accessing healthcare services. For example, all the clinics designated to provide healthcare to the displaced population are only open six hours a day.
There's not enough medicine those clinics either. Patients are given a prescription and they have to go and buy their own medicine. But this isn’t possible, they're already struggling in what is a very tough financial situation.

Aquila Amiri; midwife, MSF (in Dari)
I saw women living in very harsh conditions, especially in the cold weather. Living in a tent is particularly tough for women. And the pregnant women among them weren't getting enough food, and there wasn’t anywhere for them to get a proper rest or sleep either. Hygiene conditions were very poor too due to the lack of water and sanitation facilities. And in addition to all that, they didn’t have access to healthcare, to antenatal and postnatal care or other medical services.
CARTON : The MSF clinic offers paediatric consultations and vaccination, antenatal and postnatal care, nutritional screening and treatment
CARTON : MSF provides on average 100 consultations per day, 100 vaccinations per week and transfers serious cases to hospital
