Data Grid Completeness defines
a set of core data that are essential for preparedness and emergency response.
For select countries, the HDX Team and trusted partners evaluate datasets available on HDX and add those meeting the definition of a core data category to the Data Grid Completeness board above. Please help us improve this feature by sending your feedback to

According to the Afghanistan Humanitarian Needs and Planned Response 2023, 28.3 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and 9.7 million are in need of Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items (ES/NFI) assistance. A nation-wide post-distribution monitoring (PDM) was conducted to provide an independent evaluation of the ES/NFI assistance delivered by partners. The target population included households who received one of the following four types of assistance between August and November 2022: cash for shelter repair & upgrade, cash for rent, inkind shelter repair & upgrade, and in-kind NFI support. This assessment was conducted by phone between 11-22 December and reached 735 respondent. The survey found that 95% of all beneficiary households reported being overall satisfied (38%) or very satisfied (57%) with the assistance delivered. Cash was the preferred modality for 95% of beneficiary households and 75% of beneficiary households reported that the condition of their shelter had improved largely (41%) or moderately (34%) as a result of the assistance.
The situation inside Afghanistan deteriorated in 2022 and had significant consequences for the most vulnerable among the population. 1.6 million new arrivals have been witnessed in neighboring countries. While 5.3 million refugees returned to Afghanistan in phases since 2002, this trend has been declining in recent times with just over 6,500 people choosing to return in 2022. Since August 2022, UNHCR has maintained a non-return advisory for Afghanistan (reaffirmed February 2023), calling for a halt on forced returns of Afghan nationals.
To assess people’s ability to access the right to return and map potential protection risks and human rights violations faced by people, over 55,000 interviews were conducted with people across six crossing points from Pakistan, Iran and Central Asia into Afghanistan. Interviews were conducted through out 2022. Interviewees were selected to gain an understanding of triggers, intentions and reasons for Afghan cross-border movements and assess access to territory.

The situation inside Afghanistan deteriorated in 2021 and had significant consequences for the most vulnerable among the population. Iran and Pakistan, which are neighbours of Afghanistan, also host some 8.2 million registered Afghan refugees and other Afghans with different statuses. The majority of registered refugees fled Afghanistan over the years, including from as early as 1979.
UNHCR border monitoring seeks to understand the triggers, intentions and reasons for Afghan cross-border movements, assess access to territory and “the right to seek asylum” as well as the barriers which hinder the movement of people who may need international protection. In 2022, more than 78,000 interviews were conducted with people across six crossing points into Pakistan, Iran and Central Asia from Afghanistan.

This document is compiled by the Information Management team in the Global Health Cluster Unit GHCU, and aims to gather the figures relevant to Humanitarian Health response at global levels. The information is collected from the last available data from publicly validated sources. See detailed info below. The data is mainly compiled from HRP and follows the structure of the Global Humanitarian Overview.
For any ideas, updates, or corrections please contact GHCU-IMU at healthcluster@who.int.
The data used as populations, names, and other designations are used only as a reference and do not imply any endorsement.
The compilation is expected to be updated. Not all the fields are available in the reviewed documents, and it is expected to be complemented.
The Who does What Where (3W) is a core humanitarian coordination dataset. It is critical to know where humanitarian organizations are working, what they are doing and their capability in order to identify gaps, avoid duplication of efforts, and plan for future humanitarian response (if needed). The data includes a list of humanitarian organizations by district and cluster, as well as a unique count of organizations. An interactive map of the 3W data can be accessed here.
UNOSAT code: EQ20231008AFG, GDACS ID: 1394952 On the 7th of October 2023, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck the Herat province in the western part of Afghanistan. The epicentre was located 40 km north-west of Herat City and caused damage and destruction that triggered humanitarian needs for the local populations. The situation worsened when a second and a third strong earthquakes struck the region few days later, respectively on the 11th and 15th of October. The local government reported that the number of deaths was above 2000 people.
After the earthquake, UNOSAT quickly estimated that more than a million people were living with the intensity zones above V. It was also estimated that between 150,000 and 230,000 buildings were located within the affected zones. The United Nation Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) reported that the worst affected districts correspond to Herat, Injil and Zindajan district with more than 21,500 destroyed homes. Furthermore in the Herat Province more than 230,000 homes have been impacted by the earthquake and 37,139 families have been left without home living in temporary shelter or open spaces (UNOCHA).
At least 40 health facilities were affected during the earthquake, hampering the access to healthcare for an estimated of 580,000 people. One month after the earthquake people displaced from their home still suffer as the winter is approaching and temperatures are dropping (UNHCR).
ADAM ID: eq_us6000ldpg Magnitude 6.2 earthquake at 10.0 depth occurred on Oct 07 2023 in 30km SW of Koshk. It impacted 983360 people. The epicentre was at latitude 34.6259 longitude 61.926.
ADAM ID: eq_us6000len8 Magnitude 6.3 earthquake at 10.0 depth occurred on Oct 11 2023 in 25km SW of Koshk. It impacted 996999 people. The epicentre was at latitude 34.5798 longitude 62.0717.
ADAM ID: eq_us6000lfn5 Magnitude 6.3 earthquake at 8.219 depth occurred on Oct 15 2023 in 22km SW of Koshk. It impacted 1185926 people. The epicentre was at latitude 34.6171 longitude 62.0517.

The ICA is a process of consultations supported by mapped-out data that produces a strategic plan describing where different combinations of programme themes are appropriate to achieve goals of reducing food insecurity and climate related shock risk.
The ICA combines multi-year food security trends with natural shock risk data to highlight sub-national areas where different programme strategies make sense. Food security trend maps shows areas where safety nets can address regular food insecurity, and others where shocks make recovery more important. Climate-related natural shock risk maps show where DRR, preparedness and early warning efforts can complement food-security objectives. Atop this core foundation, mapped data on subjects including nutrition, gender, livelihoods and resilience can enrich theme-level strategic planning in which all pieces work together. The full group of ICA partners discuss these analytical results to arrive at strategic programmatic directions.
