Afghanistan，in 2012. Despite the $60 billion dollars in non-military aid that has been given to the country, little reaches the poor and homeless.
Around 35,000 Afghans live in the camps, most originated from the South where they fled fighting in Helmand and Kandahar.

“There are 35,000 people in those camps in the middle of Kabul，with no heat or electricity in the middle of winter; that’s a humanitarian crisis” said Michael Keating，the United Nations humanitarian coordinator in Afghanistan. “I just don’t think the humanitarian story is sufficiently understood here. You’ve got a lot of people who really are in dire straits.”

The camps do not qualify for development aid because they are viewed as temporary facilities – and many Afghan officials oppose their presence.　Elders and family members carry dead Khan Mohammed to the graveyard where over 100 children were buried last winter.
