On 7 October 2023, three earthquakes of 6.3 magnitude struck the western Afghan province of Herat, followed by numerous aftershocks.
About 1,400 people were killed, over 2,000 were injured, many homes were flattened and more than 110,000 people were recorded as needing humanitarian assistance. In response to the tragedy, we supported the Afghan Red Crescent Society (ARCS) and public services authorities, helping people on the ground from day one.
