Afghanistan Emergency Appeal

" For the people of Afghanistan, the list of calamities doesn’t seem to end."

The latest disaster was a 6.1 magnitude earthquake - the deadliest in two decades - where the list of fatalities has risen to more than 1,000 people, with over 1,500 injured. 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.

As part of our Emergency Appeal for Afghanistan, GER is counting on you to help deliver essentials like food, water, and medicine to support them through this crisis. 

Millions of Afghans are currently facing huge humanitarian needs brought about by the country’s worst-ever drought, food shortages, vulnerable healthcare system and the spread of COVID-19. According to the UN, 18 million people are currently facing a humanitarian disaster, while another 18 million could quickly join them. 

After withstanding decades of hardships, the Afghans are still facing challenges after challenges. They are becoming increasingly desperate, and millions of Afghans are at risk of losing essential medical care, in the middle of a growing pandemic. Alongside this, health centres are running out of medicines and more patients are being unattended to. Lives are being lost at a rapid rate. 

But you can help. You can provide immediate assistance to the people of Afghanistan.
