Afghanistan Earthquake Emergency: Families Need You

Your donation gives urgent, lifesaving care to Gaza’s mothers and children in their moment of greatest need.

Every moment matters, and every donation can save lives.

A devastating 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck Nangarhar Province on 31 August 2025, its tremors felt as far as Kabul. Entire families were buried under rubble. Over 2,205 people have lost their lives, with more than 3,124 injured, and 12,000 individuals directly affected. 5,412 homes have been destroyed, while hospitals, and roads are severely damaged. Trauma, grief, and risk of disease now haunt survivors. Your support can help WHO teams deliver life-saving care where it is needed most.
