On 10 October 2023, 10-year-old Zari holds her brother Marv, 8 months old, in front of their collapsed house. They lost their home in the earthquake in Zinda Jan district in Herat Province, Afghanistan, which struck on 7 October.
With two 6.3-magnitude quakes shaking the region over just five days, and over 1,000 people killed[1], there are thousands more in need of urgent, life-saving assistance.
UNICEF launched a funding appeal on Wednesday for an initial US$ 20 million, which includes:
With winter approaching and temperatures expected to drop well below freezing, UNICEF is extremely concerned about children and their well-being in the next few months.
“Even before the earthquake, these communities were already suffering the effects of conflict and insecurity, migration, drought, displacement, and poverty,” says Rushnan Murtaza, acting UNICEF Representative in Afghanistan. “These deprivations have now collided, creating an unprecedented humanitarian emergency for children. UNICEF and our partners have been on the ground since day one, providing life-saving assistance for children, but we need additional support to bring children the healthcare, protection, and clean water they desperately need.”
Funding through this appeal will allow UNICEF to implement the 3-month Earthquake Response Plan targeting 200,000 people, including 96,000 children in the most affected districts.
