The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has announced that forced displacement in the world continued to increase in the first four months of 2024, and at the end of April this year, it exceeded 120 million people. This organization published a report today (Thursday, 24th of Gemini) and said that at the end of 2023, the number of forced refugees in the world was 117.3 million people. The report states that for 12 consecutive years, the number of forced refugees has been increasing around the world. This international organization has named war, violence, harassment, human rights violations and events that severely disrupt public order as the main causes of forced displacement of people in the world. The report quoted Filippo Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, as writing that behind the high and rising numbers lay "countless humanitarian tragedies". He emphasized: "This suffering should force the international community to take immediate action to deal with the root causes of forced displacement." The report states that in 2023, more than 1.7 million people, which constitutes 75% of the population of the Gaza Strip, have been displaced by the war, and some of them have been forced to flee several times. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has said that the war in Sudan created one of the world's largest humanitarian and displacement crises, and at the end of the year, 10.8 million people were forcibly displaced in this country. Forced refugees in Afghanistan It is also stated in the report of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees that a total of 10.9 million Afghan citizens remained displaced at the end of 2023. It follows that almost most of them have been displaced within their own country or to neighboring countries. It said that in 2023, the number of Afghan refugees increased by 741,400 and reached 6.4 million. This organization says that this increase is mainly due to new estimates of the population of Afghan refugees in Iran and Pakistan. This organization emphasized that the opportunities for the sustainable return of migrants and refugees to Afghanistan are still limited; Half of the country's population is facing severe food insecurity and millions of people are internally displaced. It should be said that the process of expelling Afghan refugees and asylum seekers from Iran and Pakistan is going on vigorously and thousands of people from these two countries enter Afghanistan every day.

UNICEF: 3 billion teaching hours have been lost for Afghan girls

At the same time as the 1,000-day ban on girls' education above the sixth grade by the caretaker government, Catherine Russell, the executive director of UNICEF, or the United Nations Children's Fund, says that children, especially girls, cannot be held hostage to politics. Mrs. Russell today (Thursday, 24th of Gemini) by publishing a newsletter on the occasion of the passing of a thousand days of the ban on girls' education above the sixth grade, said that the passing of a thousand days of the ban on girls' education is described as "a sad and worrying milestone". He emphasized that three billion hours of educational opportunities for girls have been lost in these thousand days. He added: "For 1.5 million girls, this systematic deprivation is not only a clear violation of their right to education, but also leads to a decrease in opportunities and deterioration of their mental health." The executive director of UNICEF stated that the effect of the ban on girls' education goes beyond them and exacerbates the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and has serious consequences for the country's economy and development path. The executive director of the United Nations Children's Fund said that education not only provides opportunities for girls, but also protects them from early marriage, malnutrition and other health problems, and builds resilience against disasters such as floods, droughts and earthquakes, which often occur in Afghanistan. Occurs, strengthens. Mrs. Russell added that her colleagues are working hard to support all children in Afghanistan and together with the partners of this organization, she has provided the foundation of primary education for 2.7 million children. In a part of his statement, the executive director of UNICEF said that they have also set up community-based educational classes for 600,000 children, two-thirds of whom are girls. He emphasized that they are doing everything they can to maintain Afghanistan's educational infrastructure. He also asked the caretaker government to immediately allow all children to resume learning and asked the international community to continue supporting girls' education. Mrs. Russell said: "No country can move forward when half its population remains behind." This is despite the fact that the caretaker government after taking control of Afghanistan, first closed girls' schools, but the Ministry of Education of this group announced in the third month of Hajl 1401 that schools for girls above the sixth grade are closed until further notice. After that, girls were banned from studying in universities and private schools were also closed to them.
