Saturday, January 24, 2026

Sheik-ul-Hadith Shahabuddin Delawar, General President of the ARCS, held a coordination meeting with Mr. Hosam Faysal, Head of the IFRC Delegation in Afghanistan, to discuss providing emergency assistance to returnee refugees and earthquake-affected families, and to address their challenges.
During the meeting, Mr. Delawar shared information on the urgent needs and difficulties faced by returnee and affected families. He emphasized that these families require comprehensive humanitarian support beyond food and shelter. Mr. Delawar stated that supplying food and non-food items, health services, winter clothing, and shelter remains a top priority for the ARCS, however, the organization cannot meet the challenges and needs of all returnee families alone, highlighting the importance of humanitarian assistance from international aid organizations in this regard.
Mr. Faysal stated “We are committed to supporting returnee refugees and earthquake-affected families. In coordination with the ARCS, we will provide assistance tailored to the specific needs of these families.” He also assured that the challenges faced by these families will be shared with officials from other humanitarian organizations to ensure a timely response.
