Afghanistan: ICRC helps earthquake victims - 12/10/2023, News - Anne-Hélène Mahé
On Saturday October 7, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck the rural district of Herat province. Several aftershocks followed until October 8, then again on October 11.
Fate is taking its toll on the Afghans, who have been living in war for decades. Hundreds of families were forced to move to the region's main city, Herat, after their homes were destroyed and health facilities wiped out.
To provide essential services to the wounded, the Afghan Red Crescent, the authorities and the ICRC are working closely together. In response to the emergency, the following have been provided:
Medical supplies, including intravenous kits and dressings for Herat regional hospital and Afghan Red Crescent mobile clinics. The ICRC is also in contact with the detention center to ensure that the authorities have the necessary medical supplies to treat injured detainees.
Body bags to the health authorities, as well as technical advice and protective equipment to deal with this unprepared influx of dead.
Financial support for the Afghan Red Crescent to meet the immediate needs of the population.
Health professionals (16 teams from the Afghan Red Crescent) to strengthen health care capacity.
Essential supplies and equipment (food, blankets, tarpaulins, tents, cooking utensils, buckets, etc.) provided by the Afghan Red Crescent and Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement partners.
In addition, to help families with no news of a missing relative, or families separated by the earthquakes, Afghan Red Crescent and ICRC Restoring Family Links (RFL) teams were deployed on site.
