12 Jul 2022 - 15:05

Human Rights Watch stated that people with disabilities had been overlooked in humanitarian relief to the earthquake victims.


Afghan Voice Agency(AVA)_Monitoring, According to the Human Rights Watch report, there is a paucity of post-earthquake statistics on the needs of disabled persons in Afghanistan, and many of them have been forgotten about when relief was being distributed.

 
Despite frequently being mentioned as a population at risk, people with disabilities frequently encounter impediments to receiving humanitarian aid such as food, sanitation, and medical help

Following an earthquake that occurred in eastern Afghanistan on June 22 and left at least 1,000 people dead, individuals with disabilities continue to be underrepresented and disadvantaged in general.
