UN agency appeals for funds to help tens of thousands of quake-hit Afghans, many still homeless
The International Organization for Migration seeks $16.8 million to provide emergency shelter and healthcare to 134,000 people, amid worsening conditions and approaching winter.
- The U.N.'s migration agency is appealing for funds to help around 134,000 quake-hit Afghans who need assistance nearly two weeks after an earthquake killed over 2,200 people in the country's east.
- Many of the affected Afghans are homeless, sleeping in the open and desperate to rebuild their destroyed homes, with aid organizations struggling to provide tents and other assistance in the mountainous regions.
- The plight of Afghan women is of particular concern as the Taliban has imposed its interpretation of Islamic law, including sweeping restrictions on women and girls, since seizing power in August 2021.
