Amu: Nearly three-quarters of Afghanistan’s population remains unable to meet basic living needs, according to a new report by the UN Development Program, which warned that worsening economic pressures, mass returns from neighboring countries and severe drought conditions are deepening the country’s humanitarian crisis. The report found that 74 percent of Afghans were classified as “subsistence insecure” in 2025, meaning they faced serious deprivation in food, healthcare, housing, water and livelihoods. The figure remained unchanged from the previous year, underscoring what the report described as entrenched and widespread hardship across the country. The findings were published in the Afghanistan Socioeconomic Review 2024–2025 by the UN Development Program. Click here to read more (external link).
