The UN Human Settlements Programme has announced that four out of five residents of Kabul live in informal settlements;
Areas that are deprived of access to basic services such as clean water, health, education and green spaces.
The organization warned in its new report that the current situation is particularly worrying for children and has exposed them to serious physical and psychological risks. According to the organization, the deprivation of proper education and a safe environment threatens the future of the new generation.
More than three years after the Taliban took control, there has still been no clear plan to organize these settlements or improve urban infrastructure.
While officials talk about growth and progress, millions of Kabul citizens are deprived of even the most basic necessities of life.
The United Nations has emphasized that there is an urgent need for practical action and targeted investment to secure the future of these communities.
