冲突造成的新流离失所者人数最近有所增加，原因是自巴基斯坦返回的阿富汗家庭数量大幅增加。如果目前的趋势持续下去，阿富汗将必须满足至少100万流动人口的需求。那将需要提供远为更多的援助，并给已经过于吃紧的卫生和其他服务部门添加不堪承受的重压。除非很快采取措施，否则成千上万家庭将面临冬季没有适当住房或支助的前景。
The numbers of people newly displaced by conflict have been swelled recently by a massive increase in the number of Afghan families returning from Pakistan. If current trends continue, Afghanistan will have to meet the needs of at least 1 million people on the move. That would require far greater amounts of assistance and would place an overwhelming strain on already overstretched health and other social services. Unless measures are taken soon, many thousands of families will face the prospect of winter with inadequate shelter or support.
