In the wake of a series of earthquakes that have devastated eastern Afghanistan, the humanitarian response remains critically underfunded, with Western donors slow to act and gender-based restrictions compounding the crisis for Afghan women. Aid workers from French NGOs told RFI about the challenges on the ground.
More than 2,200 people were killed after the magnitude-6.0 earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan just before midnight on 31 August, making it the deadliest quake to hit the country in decades.
