An Afghan family take a meal at their temporary home in a camp for internally displaced people in Kabul, Afghanistan. Residents inside illegal encampments throughout Afghanistan often face eviction from government agencies or local strongmen who want to seize the land, Carter said. In Kabul, several hundred displaced families from all over the country live inside the Chaman-e-Babrak settlement on what used to be an athletic field. The couple fled to Pakistan from their native Parwan province in central Afghanistan after the Taliban began its five-year reign in 1996. In the first four months of 2016 alone, 118,000 new people fled their homes due to violence, it added.
