UNHCR Philippines | Afghanistan Earthquake Emergency
Millions of people in Afghanistan are trapped in poverty and hunger, amid economic collapse and with human rights - particularly for women and girls - under attack. More than 2.4 million Afghans have returned or been forced to return to Afghanistan this year, many setting foot in Afghanistan for the first time, and with nowhere safe to go.
Now a devastating earthquake has destroyed entire communities. Survivors are sleeping in the open, exposed to the elements. Winter is fast approaching—and without urgent support, lives are at risk.
Help us provide emergency relief and shelter now.
Communities are still reeling with the effects of previous earthquakes and flooding—they urgently need safe shelter, protection and relief.
UNHCR and partners are on the ground, racing to support rescue operations and deliver emergency supplies inside Afghanistan like tents for families and solar lamps to provide safety in the dark of night.

Your money helps UNHCR provide protection, shelter and other forms of assistance, and advocacy on behalf of displaced and stateless people every year. We ensure that as many funds as possible are redirected to refugees, stateless persons and asylum-seekers. 85 per cent of all funds raised go directly to field operations. 7 per cent is allocated for global programmes, helping refugees, internally displaced people, asylum seekers and stateless people under the UNHCR mandate around the world, and 8 per cent is for headquarters administration. UNHCR staff work as closely as possible with and for people forced to flee, with 90 per cent of our workforce based in field locations. For further details on UNHCR's budget, read our Global Report.
