“This is a catastrophe within a catastrophe” UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Afghanistan ⁦Dr. Ramiz Alakbarov⁩ calls for an Emergency Earthquake Appeal for US$110M to assist 362,000 people in already vulnerable districts hit by #AfghanistanEarthquake's wide-scale destruction.

UN Afghanistan UNAMA News team was in Balkhab today. We held meetings, visited hospital, market and attended distribution. We already reached to 2,300 families with food, family and hygiene kits and medical support. More is needed and help is on it's way #Afgweareonit

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, no words can express our gratidue to our national colleagues in #Afghanistan, especially female aid workers who stayed and delivered humanitarian assistance in extremely difficult circumstances #Afgweareonit #ItTakesAVillage

Deeply concerned by reports that de facto authorities issued a circular barring all female employees of national&international organizations from going to work. Clear breach of humanitarian principles. Women critical role all aspects of life& humanitarian response is undeniable

The Afghanistan Humanitarian Response plan is out. The world must not shut the door on Afghan people. Partners are on the ground & ready to scale up, despite the many challenges. Donors help us push back hunger, disease, malnutrition & suffering. Click: bit.ly/3JnYELp

1/2 Mixed feelings as my assignment w/ #UNAMA UN Afghanistan ends, leaving behind 3 tumultuous years. My farewell wish is to see a path carved out for #Afghanistan where gender equality, social/economic opportunities & inclusivity lead to stability & prosperity for 40m Afghans

2/2 I take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire aid community and humanitarian partners for their unwavering support to the people of #Afghanistan. Together, we were able to save lives and avert a humanitarian catastrophe.
