In October 2023, Herat Province in Afghanistan was devastated by three earthquakes, resulting in 1,480 fatalities and 1,950 injuries, affecting approximately 154,000 people. The destruction included over 21,300 buildings, including 40 healthcare facilities, intensifying an existing humanitarian crisis under Taliban rule since August 2021. A comprehensive and coordinated response is vital for sustainable recovery and resilience, transcending political barriers to address the immediate and long-term needs of the Afghan population.
2023年10月,阿富汗赫拉特省遭受三次地震重创,造成1480人死亡、1950人受伤,约15.4万人受灾。破坏包括21300多座建筑物,其中有40家医疗设施,加剧了自2021年8月塔利班统治以来就存在的人道主义危机。全面协调的应对措施对于实现可持续恢复和增强复原力至关重要,要跨越政治障碍来满足阿富汗民众的眼前和长期需求。
