Sky News

Our Country Director for Afghanistan, Tajammul Hussain, spoke with Gareth Barlow at Sky News to highlight the devastating impact of the 6.0 magnitude earthquake on 1st September

This tragedy comes at a time of mounting challenges for Afghanistan: a severe drought, mass returns of Afghans from Iran and Pakistan, and major cuts to aid—all leaving children and families deeply vulnerable.

Street Child’s focus is on delivering emergency shelter, food, medical care, and vital child protection services to those most affected. We are working closely with local civil society and the wider humanitarian community to ensure a coordinated, locally informed response that reaches those most in need.
