Afghanistan Earthquake Appeal - Support Survivors Today.
A powerful earthquake has struck Afghanistan, leaving behind a trail of destruction and heartbreak. At leas 800 people have lost their lives and more than 3,000 have been injured, including many children. The true scale of this disaster is still unfolding, as countless people remain trapped beneath the rubble and the death toll continues to rise.
Entire villages have been flattened, and thousands of families have been left without shelter. Homes built from mud and stone have crumbled, forcing survivors to sleep in the open, exposed to the elements with no protection.
Parents are desperately searching for missing children, while hospitals are overwhelmed by the injured and running dangerously low on supplies.
Surviving children and their families face a terrifying reality: no food, no clean water, and no safe place to stay. Without urgent support, their chances of survival diminish by the hour. They urgently need emergency food, drinking water, shelter, and medical care to make it through the coming days.
How MH is Responding to the Earthquake in Afghanistan
Our teams are on the ground providing emergency relief to families in desperate need. With your support, we are:
Combating Food Insecurity: Muslim Hands’ Tandoor Bakery
In Afghanistan, one third of the population, 15.3 million people do not have enough food to eat. This situation is heartbreaking and is exactly why our humanitarian work on the ground is essential. Just before Ramadan 2022, Muslim Hands opened our very first Tandoor bakery in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Since its launch we have been distributing hundreds of fresh naans to vulnerable people every day. The naans produced by the Tandoor bakery are a lifeline for so many. In a country where 29.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, this project has started a positive chapter in their stories.
