In #Nuristan, families endured weeks of isolation and suffering.

Today, 17,000 families affected by armed conflict are finally receiving food, healthcare, and essential items through the joint efforts of @ICRC, @ARCSAfghanistan, and @WFP_Afghanistan.

In Mazar-e-Sharif, 1,050 households are gaining access to dependable, affordable electricity through @ICRC support.

Reliable power fuels better health, livelihoods, and new opportunities.

In Helmand province, water means survival.

Through a Cash-for-Work project, @ICRC is rehabilitating an irrigation canal, building protective walls, & restoring access to water for 900+families.

Helping fields grow again & communities stand stronger after years of past conflict.

Kabul woke up under a blanket of snow this morning ❄️

Beautiful to see, but for families without food, firewood, or coal to keep warm, winter is a daily struggle for survival.

[Katharina Ritz @KRitzICRC]

Affected by recent outbreak of hostilities, communities in Zazi Maidan, Khost, lost homes, livestock, and livelihoods. @ICRC_Af and @ARCSAfghanistan provided cash & emergency assistance to 430 vulnerable families — to support their most urgent basic needs.

[ICRC Afghanistan @ICRC_af]

“Everything was destroyed, as you can see, everything is gone.”

After the recent earthquake in northern #Afghanistan, hundreds of families face winter with damaged homes and scarce resources.

The @ICRC and @ARCSAfghanistan are on the ground, delivering lifesaving care 🔽

[Katharina Ritz @KRitzICRC]

In Samangan, Feda Mohammad shares his pain of loss after the recent earthquake that struck northern #Afghanistan. Like him, countless families mourn their loved ones & struggle to survive without shelter & water as winter sets in.

Polio may have affected his leg, but it never stopped his dreams.

🌟 Meet Sayed Waseem!

Once affected by Polio, now Afghanistan’s wheelchair basketball player & @ICRC’s staff member.

His journey is proof that determination can turn challenges into victories.

#WorldPolioDay

[Katharina Ritz @KRitzICRC]

From battling polio at the age of two to assisting others today. Zulaikha’s journey wasn’t easy, but with
@ICRC_Af ’s support, she found hope, independence, and a way to contribute to the community. If inspiration had a face, it would be hers. #WorldPolioDay

[ICRC Afghanistan @ICRC_af]

📍Afghanistan | Not a single house remains standing in Masoud village of Nurgal district following the 6.0 earthquake that claimed more than 2,200 lives.

[ICRC Afghanistan @ICRC_af]

The @ICRC continues to distribute assistance to the @ARCSAfghanistan in order to support communities affected by the #Kunar earthquake:

⛺️ Shelters & tents
🚰 Water supply networks
⚡️ Generators

4⃣9⃣4⃣tents are already installed & an additional 500 tents will be set up soon.

[Katharina Ritz @KRitzICRC]

Setting up tents by #ARCSAfghanistan volunteers for thousands of families is hard work. But then, nothing compares to the heartbreak of #KunarEQ survivors moving in after losing loved ones, homes, livelihoods. This is more than shelter. It’s survival, grief & healing.

[Masoud Samimi @SamimiMasood]

This is heartbreaking.

#Kunar

[ICRC Afghanistan @ICRC_af]

In Mazar valley, Kunar province, villages lie in ruins.

Families, especially women & children, struggle in tents with limited food, drinking water & healthcare.

Alongside @ARCSAfghanistan, the @ICRC is providing assistance to the most vulnerable.

But more support is needed.

[Katharina Ritz @KRitzICRC]

After #Kunar EQ, the pain & loss survivors endure are unimaginable. Listening to their stories is crucial—they’ve lost loved ones, sometimes entire families.

Dawood Sha lost 9 family members, including his mother, wife & children.

📍 Afghanistan | Mia Askar lost everything when a 6.0 earthquake struck his village 12 days ago. His two cows, which were his livelihood, were killed, and only ruins are left of his house
