Given the widespread destruction in villages in western Afghanistan and the harsh winter, UNICEF called on Monday for more aid for those affected.
“The children are still trying to cope with the loss and trauma. Schools and health centers on which the children depend have been damaged beyond repair or completely destroyed,” said Fran Equiza, UNICEF Representative in Afghanistan. “Children and families without homes live in life-threatening conditions at night because they cannot heat their temporary shelter.”
In the fall of 2023, a series of earthquakes in Afghanistan caused devastating damage. In Herat province, more than a thousand people were killed and thousands of homes were destroyed. There are repeated violent tremors in the area where the Arabian, Indian and Eurasian plates meet. (SDA)
