UNICEF Provides Psychological and Social Support to Over 2,000 Flood-Affected Children in Afghanistan

In a message on its X social media page, the organization emphasized the importance of creating suitable places for children. UNICEF said that these places play a key role in providing psychological and social support to children.

According to the message, UNICEF has provided services to girls and boys in flood-affected areas through recreational activities and counseling services.

So far, the organization has provided  psychological and social support to 2,100 people, including girls and boys, in flood-affected communities in Afghanistan.

This comes as recent floods in Afghanistan have caused extensive damage and claimed the lives of over 500 people. According to the United Nations Women, women and children have been among the worst victims of these floods.

The floods have also extensively destroyed villages and damaged social infrastructure such as schools and health centers.

UN offices are currently working to provide basic services to those affected in flood-affected areas. However, the shortage of female staff to provide essential services, especially to women and children, remains a major challenge.
