Afghanistan hit by second strong earthquake in days
A 6.3 magnitude earthquake has struck western Afghanistan, just days after a series of deadly quakes left more than 2,400 people dead.
At least 80 people have been injured and a landslide has blocked the main Herat-Torghundi highway. The latest earthquake comes as Afghans are reeling from a 6.3 magnitude quake and subsequent aftershocks that struck the region on Saturday.
At least 2,445 people were killed and thousands more injured in the country’s worst quakes in years, according to Taliban officials.
Conflict in Afghanistan is shattering and transforming the country by the hour, its society unravelling, and thousands fleeing their homes to escape danger.
As the violent conflict has escalated and accelerated, transforming the country under a new regime, the United Nations is warning of a massive humanitarian crisis having a devastating impact on civilians.
Forced to find shelter where they can, without recourse to food or water, they are desperate for any help we can give them.
80% of those displaced are women and children and one in every two children under five is suffering from severe malnutrition.
They need your support now more than ever.
30,000 families have been displaced from 17 districts of Kandahar province. Refugees are forced to live in tents and open spaces. Most of these refugees spend the night in empty buildings or on sidewalks.
They face severe difficulties in obtaining basic necessities such as medicine, food and shelter. Thousands of such refugees are living in makeshift camps on the outskirts of the city.
SKT Welfare is moving to help the people of Afghanistan in every way we can.
