From January 10, the country was gripped by severe frosts, which did not decrease for more than 2 weeks. On January 8, the Ministry of Disaster Management of Afghanistan reported that 166 people became victims of bad weather.

Температура воздуха неоднократно опускалась до -33 градусов по Цельсию. Морозы сопровождались сильными снегопадами и ледяными дождями. Во многих районах были отключения электроэнергии. По оценкам местных метеорологов, нынешняя зима — «безусловно самая холодная за последние годы».

При этом обычно январь в Афганистане самый холодный и самый дождливый месяц. Из-за воздушных масс из Индийского океана здесь регистрируется до 79 мм осадков. Температура воздуха в январе тоже самая низкая. На севере страны столбик термометра находится на отметке +23°С, на востоке температура воздуха колеблется в пределах -1,1°С — -5°С, а на юге — +7°С — +12°С.

As noted by the World Health Organization (WHO), in one of the villages in Badakhshan province in northeastern Afghanistan, 23 people have died since January 17 from acute respiratory infections alone. Due to difficult weather conditions, it is very difficult for humanitarian workers to reach the area. As the causes of death, the WHO named fires and gas poisoning when people tried to heat the premises.

In addition to weather disasters, Afghanistan is experiencing one of the worst humanitarian crises

The country is in international isolation due to the coming to power of the radical Islamist movement "Taliban". The country is in an incredible humanitarian crisis. More than half of the 38 million people do not have a secure food supply, and 3 million children regularly face food shortages.

International humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan has been further limited following the Taliban's decision on 24 December 2022 to ban local and foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from hiring women. Before that, the authorities banned women from studying at the university.

Any NGO found not to comply with the order will have its license to operate in Afghanistan revoked, the Economy Ministry said in a statement.

The ban affected more than 180 organizations that were part of the coordinating agency for assistance to Afghanistan (ACBAR). UN humanitarian missions often work in Afghanistan through local organizations that are subject to the ban. Later, an exception was made for the health sector, and some NGOs reopened.
