Khost

Capital Khost
Population 512,000
Area 4,152  km²

Situated in the southeast of Afghanistan, this mountainous province shares a border and tribal identity with the neighboring Waziristan region in Pakistan. This province has been a main transit point for internally displaced peoples and continues to host a number of refugee camps. As a result, much emergency aid has been focused on the region in recent years as the international community works to return displaced Afghans to their homes.
