Earthquake in Afghanistan: women hardest hit, left alone and without medical care
At dawn on September 1, a violent 6-magnitude earthquake shook the mountainous province of Kunar, in eastern Afghanistan, leaving behind death, injuries, and destruction. As rescue efforts struggle amid isolated villages, collapsed roads, and overwhelmed hospitals, women are among the hardest hit: forced to wait, excluded from care, hindered by the rigid rules imposed by the Taliban regime. A tragedy that not only cries out for gender justice, but also exposes a harsh truth: ignoring their suffering means undermining the very future of the whole community.
