Support for Afghanistan

Hello,

Thank you for your support of this project. I'm writing to share some updates on ActionAid's work.

Over the past few years, Afghanistan has been impacted by several crises. On June 22, 2022, a 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck the central region of Afghanistan impacting over 30,000 people at a time when 20 million people were already facing an acute hunger crisis, including 2 million children at the risk of malnutrition.

Addtionally, those who have been displaced by ongoing conflict, drought, famine, and natural disaster find themselves in new cities without a way to pay for food, rent, or fuel to heat their homes.

Since these converging crises, ActionAid has continued to work across Afghanistan with partners. To date, your support has enabled us to provide the following to people and communities who have been most impacted: 

• Cash support for food, fuel, and heating equipment.
• Winter clothing, blankets, and pillows.
• Emergency food assistance and safe water.
• Sanitation and hygiene support, including hygiene kits for women and girls.
• Counseling support for displaced people, to help address the stress and anxiety of the current situation.

ActionAid is continuing our response and is scaling up efforts to ensure that we can the reach areas where internally displaced people are fleeing, providing them with increased access to essential serivces.

Thank you. We appreciate your partnership!
