Afghanistan (SAVE THE CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL) : 🛑 URGENT: EARTHQUAKE in Afghanistan – we are responding.

 

DONATE NOW Hi friend, A powerful 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan in the middle of the night – while families were asleep in their homes. At least 600 people have died and more than 3,000 have been injured, including many children. The true scale of devastation is still emerging, with aftershocks continuing to cause fear and destruction. Roads are blocked by fallen rocks, cutting off villages and slowing rescue efforts. Around 3,000 families – including an estimated 15,000 children – have been impacted. Many children are now left terrified, vulnerable, and without shelter. Save the Children teams are already on the ground in both the Nangarhar and Kunar provinces deploying mobile health units to provide emergency care. We have prepositioned hygiene kits, tarpaulins, shelter repair kits, and education kits ready to be distributed – but we urgently need your support to reach more children and families in need. Friend, your gift to our Children’s Emergency Fund will help provide lifesaving aid – including medical care, shelter, clean water, and essential supplies – to children and families who have lost everything. I WANT TO HELP Save the Children has been supporting communities and protecting children's rights across Afghanistan since 1976, including during periods of conflict and natural disasters. We have programmes in 10 provinces and work with partners in an additional 11 provinces. We cannot wait when children’s lives are on the line. Please, if you can, make an urgent donation today. Together, we can help children in Afghanistan survive this devastating earthquake and be ready to respond quickly to future crises.
