Displacement Situation in Khost & Paktika:

Following military operations in mid-June 2014 in Pakistan’s North

Waziristan Agency, families began crossing into southeastern Afghan-

istan. By the end of December 2015 UNHCR had recorded a total of

38,653 Pakistani refugee families (236,881 individuals) in Khost and

Paktika provinces.

The Directorate of Refugees & Repatriation (DoRR) in Khost estimated

that, along with population displaced from NWA, around 5,000 docu-

mented & undocumented Afghan families (25,000 individuals) have

returned to Afghanistan and are displaced in the communities of

Khost & Paktika, and possibly other Provinces such as Nangarhar.

From June 2014—December 2015 IOM has assessed a total of 2,601

families (14,330 individuals) in Khost, Paktika, Kabul and Nangarhar

and their main and immediate needs were, Food and non-food items,

winter kits, WASH and emergency shelters

From June 2014—December 2015, after the joint assessment with the Directorate of Refugees & Repatriation (DoRR) and other hu-

manitarian actors such as WFP, UNHCR and UNICEF, IOM was able to provide immediate humanitarian assistance to the undocu-

mented Afghans displaced in Khost, Paktika, Kabul and Nangarhar. IOM was able to assist 1,112 undocumented Afghan families

(6,200 individuals) by providing them with the following relief items:
