​In response to the devastating earthquake that struck southeastern Afghanistan at the end of August, Qatar Charity (QC), with the support of donors in Qatar, has carried out two emergency relief interventions, providing vital assistance to hundreds of families most affected by the disaster.

The interventions included the distribution of family tents, food packages, and kitchen kits in Kunar Province, helping meet urgent shelter and nutrition needs.

In the shelter sector, Qatar Charity distributed 393 high-quality family tents designed to withstand weather conditions, fire, and humidity, offering safe shelter to families who lost their homes. The distribution was coordinated with local authorities to ensure aid reached those in greatest need.

As part of its “Feeding is Life” campaign, Qatar Charity also delivered 260 food packages and 260 kitchen kits. Each package contained essential food items sufficient for a family for one month. The aid targeted the most vulnerable households, helping them cope with the loss of livelihoods and enhancing their food security.

Qatar Charity urges the generous people of Qatar to continue supporting the “Feeding is Life” campaign to deliver food aid to as many affected individuals as possible in several countries in Asia and Africa. Contributions can be made conveniently through Qatar Charity’s website (https://www.qcharity.org/en/qa), mobile app (qch.qa/appen). Furthermore, benefactors can donate at Qatar Charity’s branches, as well as at its collection points in the commercial complexes, in addition to dialing 44920000 for this purpose.

According to the official reports, the death toll has risen to 2,205, while the number of injured has exceeded 3,700, following the 6.0-magnitude earthquake. The disaster has caused extensive damage to thousands of homes, particularly in Kuner province and surrounding areas.
