HELP CRS HELP OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN AFGHANISTAN!A devastating 6.0 magnitude earthquake followed by a 5.2 magnitude earthquake and ongoing aftershocks has struck eastern Afghanistan.
Homes collapsed, landslides blocked roads and thousands of people were displaced. Women and children are sheltering in open areas or makeshift tents, exposed to danger.
Water systems are severely damaged.
Our hearts and prayers are with Afghan families enduring this crisis with strength and courage.
Families urgently need safe shelter, food, clean water, emotional care and protection.
Catholic Relief Services and our partners in Afghanistan are on the ground, assessing needs and coordinating a response. We plan to provide cash assistance for food, emergency shelter supplies such as tents, essential items including blankets, kitchen sets and hygiene kits, and counseling for children and caregivers. -
