MAKE A HUMANITARIAN GIFT [[link removed]]

As we informed you last week, this earthquake has claimed over 2,000 lives, with a majority being women and girls. Shockingly, more than 90% of the casualties were women and children , as the earthquakes occurred during the day when men were typically working outdoors.

Women and girls are in desperate need of your humanitarian gift to receive essential care. Will you consider making a humanitarian gift to deliver emergency health care? [[link removed]]

It's crucial to understand that among the affected population, an estimated 3,028 are women of reproductive age, 1,414 are adolescent girls, and 183 are pregnant women, all of whom urgently require basic health care.

On Saturday, a powerful 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck northwest of the city of Herat, resulting in a tragic loss of over 2,000 lives, with the death toll still rising. Of those who died, the majority are women and girls — as they were home while men worked .

Survivors are bravely sifting through the rubble, facing a dire situation marked by a severe lack of medical care, water, food, shelter, and humanitarian aid in a nation already ravaged by conflict. Out of the 12,100 people affected by the earthquake, approximately 3,000 are women of reproductive age, along with 1,410 adolescent girls, and 183 pregnant women.

UNFPA, the United Nations agency for sexual and reproductive health, is on the ground now, working tirelessly to ensure that essential health care services are integrated into emergency responses.

Will you make a humanitarian gift today to deliver crucial care to women and girls who have been gravely impacted by this tragic earthquake? In disaster situations like these, every second counts, and we need to scale up our response. [[link removed]]
