A safe #shelter lets families rest without fear, so they can plan for tomorrow. Access to #healthcare helps them heal and stay strong, so they can support each other. #Education gives children routine, purpose, and #hope, so they can build the future they deserve.

Yesterday in #Kunar Province, Humanitarian Coordinator Indrika Ratwatte met with earthquake-affected families who spoke of the urgent need for shelter & winterization support. The UN & partners are providing assistance, but more resources are required before winter arrives.
