Survivors of the recent earthquakes in Afghanistan are now battling freezing winter temperatures as they struggle to rebuild their lives after the devastating disasters that killed hundreds and left thousands homeless.
The quakes, which struck several northern provinces, destroyed entire villages, leaving residents without shelter, food, or access to basic necessities. Many families are now forced to sleep in makeshift tents or under open skies, braving the bitter cold.
Humanitarian agencies have warned of a looming humanitarian crisis, as the combination of cold weather, food shortages, and lack of medical care threatens to worsen the situation. Efforts are underway to deliver aid supplies, but rough terrain and damaged roads have slowed down relief operations.
Authorities in Afghanistan have called for international assistance, emphasizing that the country, already struggling with economic and political challenges, cannot handle the crisis alone.
As temperatures continue to drop, aid workers fear that more lives could be lost, especially among children and the elderly, if urgent action is not taken.
