UN says Afghan women face ‘deadly situation’ during quakes amid Taliban restrictions

In the wake of recent devastating earthquakes in Afghanistan, women and girls find themselves in an exceedingly perilous situation due to the ongoing humanitarian and civil rights crises, according to a United Nations official. These quakes have claimed thousands of lives, with more than 90% of the casualties being women and children, further exacerbated by the country’s recent political turmoil after the Taliban’s takeover.
