How many disasters, crises and challenges can one country endure? I feel awful for the communities in Baghlan, Afghanistan that have been decimated by flash floods.
@UNICEFAfg
estimates around 50 children have lost their lives. Devastating. Condolences to the grieving families.
Heartbreaking scenes of damage from the floods in northeastern Afghanistan.
@UNICEFAfg
supplies are already on the ground, including warm clothes and baby blankets, hygiene and cooking supplies, and tarpaulins.
UNICEF's Representative in Afghanistan

My recent mission with WHO Regional Director

to
#Afghanistan
is a testament to our commitment to
#EndPolio
in the region and globally.
Together, with all our partners, we will do all that's possible to reach every last child with lifesaving vaccines.
Meet Aliya, working with her father to provide basic healthcare to mothers & children in their village. "I love serving my community. I learn a lot working with my father and I teach him new tricks,” she says.
We're proud to support such inspiring community health workers.
Clean water is crucial for child survival. Thanks to flexible Global Thematic Funding,
@UNICEFAfg
can bring eco-friendly water facilities to communities like Sorobi in central Afghanistan, where a new water treatment plant is giving 9,000 people (4,000 children) safe access.
A real pleasure to engage w/ children accessing
