Qatar Charity (QC), as part of Qatar Aid, has announced plans to deliver urgent humanitarian assistance to families affected by the powerful earthquake that struck northern Afghanistan . The 6.3-magnitude quake claimed dozens of lives, injured hundreds, and displaced thousands of families across Samangan and Balkh provinces amid harsh winter conditions.
The relief effort forms part of Qatar’s broader humanitarian commitment to support disaster-hit communities worldwide. Qatar Charity is coordinating with international and local partners to ensure a swift and effective response that addresses the most pressing needs.
The upcoming intervention will prioritize the distribution of essential winter supplies to families who lost their homes to help them withstand harsh weather as winter approaches.
Qatar Charity emphasized that this initiative underscores its commitment to alleviating human suffering and supporting vulnerable communities. The organization noted that its field teams are currently finalizing logistical arrangements in collaboration with local and international partners to ensure timely delivery of aid to the hardest-hit families.
Qatar Charity reaffirmed its pledge to continue humanitarian and development assistance for the Afghan people, strengthening the resilience of communities affected by natural disasters and reflecting the values of solidarity and generosity that define the State of Qatar and its people.
It is worth noting that, with the support of donors in Qatar, Qatar Charity carried out two relief interventions in recent months for families affected by the earthquake in southeastern Afghanistan. These efforts included the distribution of family tents, food baskets, and kitchen kits, helping meet urgent shelter and food needs and enhancing the ability of affected families to withstand difficult conditions.
