From United Nations news agency IRIN: Over 100,000 people have been forced out of their homes from war in different parts of Afghanistan over the past 12 months and according to aid agencies and affected people, many of them are in dire need of assistance.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says civilians are trapped in an environment in which one armed group may demand food and shelter in the evening and an opposing side demand justification for harboring an enemy in the morning.
The ICRC, which works in collaboration with the Afghan Red Crescent Society and has better access to conflict-affected areas than UN agencies, says it has only been able to assist about 20,000 of the over 100,000 civilians displaced by fighting since last year.
