Afghanistan: Crisis Update December 16th 2021
Doctors Without Borders
DEC 16, 2021
On August 15, 2021, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) (also known as the Taliban) came to power in Afghanistan. The health system continues to be strained by the ongoing economic instability. A long drought has also extended the season of peak malnutrition, and parts of the country have seen an uptick in measles cases. Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) continues to run activities in all five of its projects in Lashkar Gah, Kunduz, Kandahar, Herat, and Khost. There's been an increase in the number of patients across several projects, in part because people are now able to travel more to the few health facilities that are still open. MSF has around 100 international staff and 2,300 Afghan colleagues working in the country.
