Overview of UNICEF Pakistan's robust humanitarian response to the multifaceted challenges faced in 2023 Highlights Throughout the year, Pakistan continued grappling with the aftermath of the floods that affected 94 districts and impacted over 33 million people in 2022. Amongst the affected, an estimated 20.6 million people, including 9.6 million children, required humanitarian assistance. Concurrently, the protracted Afghan refugee crisis continued to strain resources, with a population of nearly three million Afghans of different statuses, 49 per cent of whom are under the age of 18, and their host communities often vulnerable and in need of humanitarian assistance. UNICEF remained committed to humanitarian principles, making significant progress through effective cluster coordination and inter-agency partnerships to meet immediate needs and lay the groundwork for long-term recovery and resilience-building efforts.
