Here are some ways to help

Donate to the World Food Programme: Afghanistan was suffering from a food crisis even before the earthquake, which has now been exacerbated.

With over 1,000 dead, children have invariably been affected, either directly or through loss of a family member. UNICEF has been supporting children around the world for nearly 80 years.

The Red Cross and *The Red Crescent, have already mobilized to help the people of Afghanistan with food and aid delivery.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs is assisting the Afghan government to help as many people as possible.

*Islamic Relief is a Muslim NGO founded in the UK in 1984 by doctors and activists dedicated to disaster response.

UNHCR’s work in Afghanistan focuses on protecting the most vulnerable and assisting newly displaced Afghans with life-saving shelter, food, water and core relief items.

With thousands displaced, the International Rescue Committee can help provide aid, health care and support to Afghans affected by the earthquake.

*International Medical Corps was the first to respond in the Gayan district of Afghanistan, mobilizing staff and ambulances and providing critical trauma care to impacted communities.

Save the Children has been directly supporting communities and protecting children’s rights across Afghanistan.
