UNDP Afghanistan’s Post

It is always difficult to witness the heart-wrenching scenes of people striving to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of a disaster. The recent floods in Northern Afghanistan have resulted in a significant loss of lives and the destruction of countless homes. In response to this crisis, UNDP Afghanistan is taking action to support the affected communities. Our efforts include constructing temporary shelters, clearing debris, providing cash-for-work opportunities, and ensuring hot meals for those in need. We urge you to join us in our mission to assist these vulnerable communities. Together, we can make a difference and help them regain their footing. #AfghanistanFloods
