Afghanistan Earthquake: UN Warns Survival in Winter Difficult Without Global Aid

Kabul – The United Nations has warned that millions affected by the recent devastating earthquake in Afghanistan will face extreme difficulties surviving the upcoming harsh winter without international assistance.

According to UNOCHA, thousands of homes in the affected areas have been destroyed, forcing many families to take shelter under the open sky or in tents. As temperatures drop, there are growing concerns over severe shortages of food, medicine, and warm clothing.

Relief agencies have urged the global community to provide immediate financial and human support, not only to supply shelters but also to prevent fatalities during snowfall and freezing conditions.

Reports indicate that the recent quake has already claimed dozens of lives and injured hundreds, while causing significant damage to infrastructure. The UN stressed that without urgent action, the humanitarian crisis could worsen dramatically.
