UNHCR | Earthquake in Afghanistan | Donate Today
Families are struggling to survive after a devastating earthquake flattened entire villages in western Afghanistan.
Over one thousand people have died. Thousands more have lost their homes and livelihoods – and the number of people is expected to rise even further.
This latest disaster comes on top of years of conflict, drought, and economic crisis. Now families face a brutal winter, and your support is vital.
UNHCR is on the ground responding to rising humanitarian needs. But we need your help to do more.
