Mujib Ur Rehman Hamdard, Head of Kunar Field Office, Save the Children in Afghanistan. A 6.0 magnitude earthquake devastated parts of eastern Afghanistan including Kunar and Nangarhar province on the 1st September 2025. Before the earthquake, Save the Children's Mobile Health Team used to travel to different villages in a district in Kunar. Now, Save the Children has made it operational 24/7 and static in the area closest to where the road cuts off and where many people who have left their devastated villages are staying. Save the Children’s mobile medical teams are working in one of the most severely affected districts in Kunar province where the death toll so far has exceeded 2200 people with another 3,000 people injured, according to the de facto authorities, but those numbers are expected to rise as teams reach more areas. One team had to walk for 20 km to reach villages cut off by rock falls, carrying medical equipment on their backs with the help of community members. Save the Children
