**Afghanistan
In Afghanistan, our humanitarian colleagues tell us they’re concerned by the intensified fighting between the Taliban and Daesh‑affiliated Islamic State‑Khorasan (IS‑K) in Khogyani district, in eastern Nangarhar province, which have triggered new displacements.
According to local sources, there are more than 2,000 newly displaced people, adding to the 5,000 people that were displaced by the fighting that started five days ago.
Ambulances are currently on standby in Khogyani District Hospital and the World Health Organization (WHO) has dispatched additional supplies to cover a total of 2,000 patients. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said it will continue to provide humanitarian assistance, wherever access permits.
