Devastating 5.9-Magnitude Earthquake hits Eastern Afghanistan

More than 1000 have lost their lives, 1500 or more are injured, and many still missing in one of the most devastating earthquakes to hit Afghanistan in years. The earthquake struck last night as people were in their homes sleeping. One family lost 17 members when their dwelling collapsed, only one child survived.

Epek’s team on the ground in Afghanistan has been sending us photos of the destruction all morning. We are reaching out to you to ask for support to provide help to people devastated by this tragic disaster. Afghans have suffered so much, this is yet another blow to an already dire situation for many.

We have the connections and team on location to provide assistance. Please help with financial resources to empower us to provide basic life-saving supplies, hope, and comfort to the surviving victims.
