Did you see that a second large earthquake struck Herat, Afghanistan, on Wednesday — just days after major quakes in the same area claimed the lives of 2,400 people? Humanitarian needs in the region were already at a critical level, and are now only escalating as more people have suffered injuries or lost their homes in this latest disaster. As rapidly escalating crises take a devastating toll on communities from Afghanistan to Gaza and Israel, the world must respond with decisive action to help save lives. Will you rush an emergency donation to support our response in Afghanistan and in communities facing crises around the world?
"The ongoing humanitarian response is not proportionate to the need, and a lack of international attention has meant survivors are left more vulnerable to shocks such as these, facing chronic shortages of clean water and inadequate shelter.” Mercy Corps is rushing to address the water and sanitation needs of people in earthquake-affected communities. We are also distributing hygiene kits and other urgently needed supplies, and will continue to assess and respond to the needs of families in the weeks and months ahead. Mercy Corps has been working in Afghanistan since 1986 to provide lifesaving services and long-term support — from water and sanitation services to agriculture and vocational training. We will continue to respond to this latest crisis to help communities as they recover and rebuild. Your gift to Mercy Corps will be used where it is needed most in places like Afghanistan and in communities recovering from crises around the globe. Please rush your support now ▸ Sincerely, The Mercy Corps team |
