The operational environment in Afghanistan remained volatile in April, amid continued returns from Iran and Pakistan, cross-border tensions, flooding and movement restrictions. Reception capacity at key border points remained strained, while shelling, drone activity and unexploded ordnance incidents along eastern and southern border areas disrupted civilian life. Damage to civilian infrastructure further complicated humanitarian access and assistance delivery in some areas. Restrictions imposed by the de facto authorities, including measures affecting national female staff access to United Nations premises and certain field locations, continued to hamper protectionsensitive programming.
