RASC News Agency: In light of the devastating earthquakes that struck Herat, the repercussions have been far-reaching. Particularly concerning are the mental and emotional challenges faced by women and girls in the region, as highlighted by a representative from the International Organization CARE. It is imperative that immediate action be taken to mitigate any further decline in their mental well-being through the provision of essential services.

Renowned for its emergency aid initiatives, the International Care Organization is actively engaged in providing aid to the earthquake victims. Reshma Azami, the organization’s deputy in Afghanistan, underlines the heightened vulnerability of women to the earthquake’s aftermath owing to inadequate access to crucial information.

In a disconcerting report, UNICEF has disclosed that women and children accounted for over 90 percent of the victims affected by the recent earthquakes in Herat. In response, the agency has swiftly established five mobile clinics and dedicated teams operating overnight to extend psychological and social support to those affected, with a particular emphasis on women.

Moreover, the earthquakes in Herat have taken a profound toll on the mental well-being of the population. Residents express deep concerns about the approaching winter season, foreseeing a worsening situation and urgently appealing for increased assistance from both domestic and foreign institutions. It is crucial to acknowledge the grim reality that the earthquakes have left countless individuals in dire economic circumstances, without a place they can truly call home.

Adding further complexity to the situation, uncertainties loom over the destination of the aid efforts targeted at the people of Herat. In a previous announcement, an American senator declared that aid to Afghanistan would no longer be channeled through the Taliban group. This raises questions about the future flow of assistance and necessitates careful consideration of alternative avenues to ensure effective aid delivery.
