On top of that, earthquakes, floods and drought have destroyed 8,000 homes and strained public services "beyond their limits."
QUAKES, FLOODS, AND HUNGER
A survey of more than 48,000 households found that more than half of Afghanistan's returnees have skipped medical care to buy food, and 45% rely on open springs or unprotected wells for water.
Nearly 90% of returning Afghan families are in debt, owing $373 to $900, up to five times the average monthly income of $100 and nearly half of the annual per-capita gross domestic product, the UNDP said.
In areas with high numbers of returnees, one teacher serves 70 to 100 students, 30% of children work, and joblessness among returnees reaches 95%. The average monthly income is 6,623 Afghanis ($99.76), while rents have tripled.
The UNDP warned that without urgent support to strengthen livelihoods and services in high-return areas, overlapping crises of poverty, exclusion, and migration will deepen.
