Aid urgently needed for displaced communities
"For the people of Afghanistan, the list of calamities doesn’t seem to end."
The latest disaster in Afghanistan was two large earthquakes and several aftershocks within a few days, killing more than 2,400 people. Over the days, the casualty numbers are bound to rise. Homes have been destroyed, lives upended and entire villages have been razed to the ground.

The prolonged war in Afghanistan has resulted in little by way of a proper emergency management system in the country. In a nation already struggling against poverty and malnutrition, this disaster requires urgent relief.
Millions of Afghans are currently facing huge humanitarian needs brought about by the country’s worst-ever drought, food shortages and vulnerable healthcare system. According to the UN, 18 million people are currently facing a humanitarian disaster, while another 18 million could quickly join them. Lives are being lost at a rapid rate.
As part of our Afghanistan Emergency Appeal, Global Ehsan Relief is counting on you to help deliver essentials like food, water, and medicine to support them through this crisis.
You can provide immediate assistance to the people of Afghanistan today.
"UNHCR is urging the international community to urgently step up its support to respond to this latest Afghanistan displacement crisis,"
Urgent international action is critically needed to support millions of people with the basic necessities of life through the coming month.
Help us provide Afghanistan with humanitarian assistance at a very crucial time for them. Together, we can provide relief for our Afghan brothers and sisters, giving them basic necessities such as water, food, sanitation and hygiene interventions.
"Let's work together to provide urgent aid to all the Afghans who critically need it."
