Severe Impact of Climate Change on Afghanistan: 5 Million Affected

Kokcha News Agency: The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has highlighted the severe impact of climate change on Afghanistan, revealing that approximately 5 million people have been affected by climate-related disasters in the first quarter of 2025.

These events include prolonged drought, devastating floods, extreme cold, and heavy snowfall, which have disrupted lives and livelihoods across the country.

Afghanistan, already grappling with economic instability and conflict, is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

The IOM report underscores the urgent need for international support to help the country adapt to these challenges and mitigate the humanitarian crisis.

The organization has called for increased funding and resources to address the immediate needs of those affected and to build long-term resilience against future climate shocks.
