Nawzad{{cite web|title=District Profile|url=http://www.aims.org.af/afg/dist_profiles/unhcr_district_profiles/southern/helmand/naw_zad.pdf|publisher=UNHCR|access-date=1 August 2006}} is a district in the north of Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Its population, which is 100% Pashtun, was estimated at 49,500{{cite web|title=Settled Population of Helmand Province|url=http://cso.gov.af/Content/files/helmand(1).pdf|publisher=Central Statistics Organization|access-date=21 December 2015}} in 2012. The district centre is the village of Nawzad; there are 14 other large villages and over 100 smaller villages. During the war in Afghanistan, the district became deadly as it was the site of the Taliban insurgents. As a result, president Obama leashed his surge in Afghanistan. During the year 2006-2014 the battle of Nawzad took place in the district. This affected the district heavily til today. As a consequense, many houses and infrastructure are still in ruins. The district is said to be dry and humid, where the levels of water are low.
