as a lot of attention and media coverage is going to the critical situation in palestine atm, i wanna make this post to bring some awareness to the devastating earthquakes that have hit western afghanistan (herat) recently. this past weekend over 2000 ppl died due to the 6.3-magnitude and another earthquake with the same magnitude hit the area again today.
the ppl are in dire need of financial aid since a lot of those had been cut in recent years due to the taliban taking over again. the wfp regional director for asia and the pacific said this drastic drop in funding (wfp had 80% less money for afghanistan than last year!!!) is going to lead to a famine and situation is looking hopeless. especially children and women are suffering these consequences.
here are some organizations that are working on the ground rn and are reliable! please share and consider donating, even if it's just the money u would've spent on takeout or an iced coffee today.
islamic relief and doctors without borders are 2 very well established nonprofits that always help out financially and medically in emergency situations in developing countries
visions for children - german nonprofit founded by two afghan sisters which sets up educational programs and emergency funds!
asiyah international - another german nonprofit that's running national and international aid projects!
srowzar children - australian nonprofit that's on the ground in afghanistan and always posting updates of how ur donations are making a difference!
my best friend's family in turkey is also unfortunately heavily affected by the recent earthquakes as well as the entire village they live in so they're currently collecting donations which will be brought on-site by themselves and used there however needed asap! i can def vouch for them and can guarantee that the money will go to ppl that need it so pls donate or share if u can 🙏🏽
