WFP official describes ‘devastating’ scenes in Afghanistan following multiple quakes
Update: 2023-10-19
Description
Western Afghanistan has been hit by a series of “devastating” earthquakes in the last 10 days that have displaced thousands and created a humanitarian crisis in the already-vulnerable region.
That’s according to Philip Kropf, Head of Communications for the World Food Programme (WFP) in Afghanistan.
“Dozens of villages have been damaged, some of them completely flattened,” said Mr. Kropf.
In an interview with UN News’ Cristina Silveiro, he discussed what he’d seen on the ground and outlined the UN’s urgent interagency response.
