IRIN Global | In Brief: IDP numbers up in Afghanistan - UN |

KABUL, 17 March 2010 (IRIN) - Armed hostilities have boosted the number of internally displaced persons to over 296,000 but an effective humanitarian response is being hampered by insecurity, the UN Secretary-General says in a new report to the UN Security Council.

“Many internally displaced persons remain unaccounted for as a result of the scattered nature of their displacement and lack of humanitarian access,” said the report entitled The Situation in Afghanistan and its Implications for International Peace and Security, dated 10 March and released on 16 March.
