Christian Aid prayers: Earthquake in Afghanistan

Early reports suggest that more than 800 people have been killed in an earthquake in the eastern part of the country. Several villages in the Kunar province have been completely destroyed. The UK Government has pledged £1 million to provide emergency assistance to affected people, including the provision of essential healthcare to women. These funds will be split equally between the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) and the International Red Cross (IFRC) to deliver critical healthcare and emergency supplies to Afghans in the most affected regions.  All UK assistance is channelled through experienced partners, ensuring aid reaches those in need and does not go to the Taliban. Please pray for all organisations working there, including Christian Aid, that the help will quickly reach those affected.
