Herat Earthquake: Update situation of affected population by earthquake - 13/10/2023

Women and Youth Future Assist Organization (WYFAO) is closely monitoring the situation in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Herat. In collaboration with multiple non-governmental organizations (NGOs), we are working to assess the full extent of the damage and provide essential assistance to those in need. WYFAO’s mobile health team are equipped and delivering essential medical services directly to the affected communities since the second day of earthquake.
Furthermore, the WYFAO is gearing up to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment. This assessment is a pivotal step in understanding the specific requirements of the affected families. The information gathered will guide the distribution of crucial aid, including cash assistance and emergency non-food items. By tailoring the assistance to the unique needs of each family, we can provide targeted support, ensuring that the aid provided is not only timely but also precisely tailored to alleviate the immediate challenges faced by the earthquake-affected communities.
