REUTERS/Sayed HassibAn Afghan family sits inside a makeshift shelter following a deadly magnitude-6 earthquake that struck Afghanistan on Sunday, at Lulam village, in Nurgal district, Kunar province, Afghanistan, Sept 3, 2025. Families need safe, warm, and dignified shelter to survive the freezing months ahead," said Joy Singhal, Interim Head of Delegation, IFRC Afghanistan. The IFRC said its Emergency Appeal of CHF 25 million ($31.37 million) has only received one-third of the funding needed. Without more money it will not be able to scale up much-needed shelter, food and protection for families and women, it said.
