Abstract
2020 yılının başlarında dünyayı etkisi altına alan salgın, yıllardır devam eden istikrarsızlık ve yoksullukla mücadele eden Afganistan’ı ciddi derecede olumsuz etkilemiştir. Kızamık, çocuk felci ve tüberküloz gibi hastalıklardan kurtulamayan Afganistan, yeterli sağlık altyapısına sahip olmadığı bir dönemde yeni bir virüs ile karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Ülkede sağlık hizmet kapasitesinin son derece zayıf olması dolayısıyla, gerçek vaka ve ölüm sayısının resmi istatistiklerin çok üzerinde olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Ülkede vaka sayısının düşük olması sağlık sisteminin kapasitesi ile doğrudan alakalıdır. İç savaş, beslenme sorunu, işsizlik, yoksulluk ve tıbbi yetersizliklerle karşı karşıya kalan Afganistan, Mayıs ayında Covid-19 vakalarının artması ile yetersiz derecede olan sağlık sistemi tamamen çökmüştür. Salgın ile mücadelede, toplum katılımının düşük olmasının yanı sıra, sağlık personel ve sağlık ekipman yetersizliği Afganistan’ın karşı karşıya kaldığı en önemli zorluklardandır. Bununla birlikte, bazı bölgelerde sağlık tesislerinde kontrol önlemleri dahil olmak üzere sosyal mesafe kurallarına, kısıtlamalara ve sağlık tavsiyelerine düşük düzeyde uyma ve kırsal bölgelerde halkın sağlık hizmetlerine sınırlı erişimi, Covid-19 ile mücadeleyi daha da zorlaştırmıştır. Öte yandan salgınla mücadelede uluslararası toplumun Afganistan’a sağladığı mali destek yolsuzluk nedeniyle kullanılamamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; salgınının iç çatışma yaşayan Afganistan’da yarattığı tahribatı ortaya çıkarmak, salgın ile mücadeledeki eksiklikleri ve zorlukları ele almaktır.

Abstract
The epidemic, which affected the world at the beginning of 2020, seriously affected Afghanistan, which has been struggling with instability and poverty for years. Afghanistan, which could not get rid of diseases such as measles, polio and tuberculosis, faced a new virus at a time when it did not have sufficient health infrastructure. Due to the extremely weak health service capacity in the country, it is accepted that the actual number of cases and deaths is well above the official statistics. The low number of cases in the country is directly related to the capacity of the health system. Afghanistan's health system, which has been struggling with problems such as civil war, malnutrition and medical insufficiency, completely collapsed in May with the increase in Covid-19 cases. In the fight against the epidemic, in addition to the low community participation, the shortage of health personnel and health equipment is one of the most important challenges facing Afghanistan. However, insufficient infection prevention and low adherence to social distancing, restrictions and health advice, including control measures in health facilities in some areas, and limited public access to healthcare in rural areas have made the fight against Covid-19 even more difficult. On the other hand, the financial support provided by the international community to Afghanistan in the fight against the epidemic could not be used due to corruption. The aim of this study; The aim is to reveal the destruction caused by the epidemic in Afghanistan, which is experiencing internal conflict, and to address the deficiencies and difficulties in the fight against the epidemic.
