Catastrophe in Afghanistan: Over a quarter-million children require assistance in the aftermath of an earthquake.
In the wake of a devastating earthquake, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has stepped up its humanitarian efforts in Afghanistan.
Daniel Timme, a German employee of UNICEF, is now available for interviews in Kabul and, starting from Sunday or Monday, in the earthquake-affected region. This opportunity offers a unique insight into the on-ground activities and the dire humanitarian situation unfolding in Afghanistan.
The humanitarian crisis in the country is severe, with over half of its population relying on aid to survive. An estimated 23 million people, including around 12 million children, are in dire need of assistance. Yesterday, a flight carrying 130 tons of EU-funded UNICEF aid supplies arrived in Kabul, marking a significant step in providing immediate relief.
UNICEF's primary focus in Afghanistan remains child protection. Partner organisations are working tirelessly to identify and support unaccompanied and separated children. In addition, preparations are underway to establish emergency schools in the earthquake region to ensure the continuity of education for affected children.
As the situation continues to evolve, UNICEF urgently appeals for donations to support its efforts in Afghanistan. For those interested in reporting on the situation, free-to-use photos can be downloaded from UNICEF WeShare - Daf-14.
The world's attention is now on Afghanistan, and it is crucial that we come together to support the children and families affected by this disaster. Your donation can make a difference.
