Afghanistan Earthquake Response

On the night of 31 August 2025, a powerful 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck northeastern Afghanistan. The epicentre, located 27 kilometres northeast of Jalalabad City, resulted in 2,000+ fatalities and destroyed 6,782 homes, affecting nearly 500,000 people.

 

Following the earthquake, RedR’s Dr. Noor Kuchai, conducted a field assessment in the epicentre and surrounding villages in Nangarhar Province. Our technical evaluation identified critical gaps between existing community response capacity and engineering requirements for safe reconstruction.
