爲躲避戰火逃離家園的阿富汗人急劇增多

The number of Afghans who have fled violence and remain trapped in their own country has doubled over the past three years, says a new report by Amnesty International.

A staggering 1.2 million people are internally displaced in Afghanistan, showing a dramatic increase from some 500,000 in 2013, says the report in an attempt to cast a fresh light on the country’s forgotten victims of war. It comes amid fears of an escalation in the Taliban-led insurgent attacks this year.

Afghans already form one of the world’s largest refugee populations, with an estimated 2.6 million of them living in neighboring Pakistan and Iran, according to the U.N. refugee agency.

“While the world’s attention seems to have moved on from Afghanistan, we risk forgetting the plight of those left behind by the conflict,” said Patel.

Despite the promises made by successive Afghan governments, internally displaced people (IDPs) in Afghanistan continue to lack adequate shelter, food, water, health care, and opportunities to pursue education and employment, according to Amnesty International’s findings.國際特赦組織最新報告說，逃離暴力、但仍困在國內的阿富汗人在以往3年裏翻了一番。

報告說，2013年阿富汗境內流離失所的阿富汗人大約有50萬，而現在已增加到120萬人。國際特赦發表這份報告是爲了提醒人們關注這些被遺忘的戰爭受害者。在報告發表之際，人們擔心塔利班領導的襲擊正在不斷升級。

聯合國難民署說，阿富汗是世界上最大的難民輸出國之一，估計目前有260萬阿富汗難民居住在鄰國巴基斯坦和伊朗。

國際特赦的調查發現，儘管歷屆阿富汗政府都承諾救助國內的難民，但他們仍缺少住所、食物、水、醫療以及受教育和就業的機會。
