New research by World Vision and Samuel Hall reveals a growing crisis in Afghanistan. Mass deportations and lost remittances have pushed thousands into deep debt. Families now face severe food insecurity and harmful coping mechanisms. The study confirms that children suffer most in this economic downturn.

The study shows deportation is an economic and protection shock that reverberates through households and local markets. Deportation removes income earners from foreign labour markets, abruptly cutting off remittance flows. This loss of income translates into debt accumulation and asset depletion as households struggle to meet basic needs. Growing indebtedness then drives harmful coping strategies and distress practices.
