More than 96,000 children in Afghanistan are "in dire need of support" three months after two devastating earthquakes in the west of the country.
Many families continue to live in tents or on the street, the United Nations Agency for Children (UNICEF) reports.
“The atmosphere in these villages is imbued with suffering even after 100 days from the moment of earthquakes in the west of Afghanistan, when families have lost everything. Children continue to cope with losses and injuries.
Schools and medical centers that are based on the well -being of children are damaged or completely destroyed, ” - said UNICEF representation chairman in Afghanistan, Fran Ekiza. According to the UN, earthquakes in Afghanistan destroyed 21,000 homes. Many people have lost all the livelihoods.
At this time, the country was swept by harsh winter, and the air temperature does not rise above zero.
"Children and families left without housing are forced to be in dangerous conditions without being able to heat their temporary shelters," UNICEF added.
