Highlights
Reports of continued calm and some restoration of services within Kunduz city centre, with reports of sporadic fighting continuing at a reduced level on the distant outskirts of the city.
Water and electricity have been restored to the majority of the city, and Kunduz Regional Hospital is operational, but other basic services are sporadically unavailable due to damage from the conflict.
Focus on Kunduz increasing as access and security improve and displaced families begin returning, though concerns about security remain.
Initial estimates indicate 17,000 families displaced within the Northeast, and an estimated 4,200 families displaced to Central Region, but figures of displaced remain highly fluid as some families return to Kunduz.
Assessments underway or nearing completion in all major areas of displacement, with 8,000 families verified as displaced in Taloqan and response having begun in Mazar, Taloqan, Fayzabad, Kabul, and other areas.
Critical needs for the majority of IDPs are food and shelter, with NFI, health, WASH, and protection also key.
Stocks of food, NFIs and medical supplies are in the region with additional shipments of needed supplies being prepared.
Additional funding is required to the 2015 Humanitarian Response Plan, to replenish emergency stocks.
