Members of our Mobile Health Teams are also on standby, ready to respond with health and protection support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Nasr Muflahi<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Country Director for INTERSOS in Afghanistan, said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLast night\u2019s earthquake could not have happened at a worse time. People in Afghanistan were already enduring enormous amounts of suffering, with 20 million facing acute levels of food insecurity, and almost 7 million on the brink of starvation. The economic crisis has led to thousands of people losing their jobs, the ongoing drought means that millions have lost their livelihoods &#8211; and now untold numbers have lost their homes and their dear family members and friends. Our doctors and nurses will soon be on their way to support those in urgent need of emergency medical treatment, and we are mobilising our dedicated protection teams to provide psychological support to help those affected cope with the magnitude of this disaster and its impacts. However, the needs elsewhere remain vast and it is vital that the earthquake does not detract from the continually deteriorating humanitarian situation across the rest of the country. Millions of people need support and the time to act is now.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">INTERSOS is calling for urgent funding to enable the humanitarian community to rapidly scale-up its response in the wake of this disaster, but warns that the international community should not forget about the humanitarian needs elsewhere in the country. It is vital that the international community steps-up and fully funds the $4.4 billion that is required to meet the needs of the population as a whole. Additionally, the liquidity crisis needs to be urgently addressed to enable people to get back on their feet. International donors should proactively work with private financial institutions in the US and Europe and Da Afghanistan Bank to identify a swift solution that would allow for the release of frozen assets back into the Afghan economy. They should also reinstate DAB\u2019s credentials to allow it to once again interact with the international banking system. Humanitarian assistance cannot be a substitute for a functioning economy.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INTERSOS has an emergency medical team ready to be deployed to
