Right now Afghans are in crisis. Last year, hundreds of thousands of families were forced to flee without shelter, food or basic necessities. Now, they’re facing a new challenge: surviving the freezing cold winter.
In Kabul, where snow recently fell, some displaced families are still sleeping out in the cold, open air. Even those with tents aren’t truly protected. Small children shiver in the night. In the mountainous areas where many now live, heavy snow and avalanches could soon close down roads and cut off villages and communities.
We must act fast to help Afghan and other displaced families around the world survive these extremely harsh conditions. Sign the petition at https://www.dailykos.com/campaigns/forms/sign-the-petition-help-deliver-aid-for-displaced-afghans-this-winter.
UNHCR is on the ground but resources are stretched thin and not meeting the growing needs as it becomes colder. These resilient displaced families are showing incredible courage and perseverance amid the harsh conditions but they need your help to keep hope for a safer future. You can tell them they are not alone. You can inspire hope.
When you add your name, you’re joining thousands of compassionate people, just like you, who stand with the resilient people of Afghanistan today.
