Denmark’s Humanitarian Impact on Afghanistan’s Earthquake Aftermath

The seismic events that occurred on 7 and 11 October, have left Afghanistan in disarray, directly impacting 250,000 people, claiming over 1,400 lives, and leaving 19,250 individuals, spanning 3,197 families, in dire need across seven districts.
