excerpt:

New Ministry of Refugees and Returnees (MoRR) figures from all 34 provinces indicate that 82,778 households (413,890 individuals) are currently internally displaced.

“Our numbers are renewed and based on assessments conducted all over the country,” Noor Mohammad Haidari, a senior MoRR adviser, told IRIN.

UNHCR estimates of 275,000 people displaced within Afghanistan are based on the findings of a National IDP Task Force which included UN agencies, government bodies and NGOs.
