We at Rainbow Afghanistan are heartbroken by the devastating earthquake that has struck Kunar and Nangarhar provinces in Afghanistan, claiming the lives of at least 800 people and leaving at least 2.800 injured. We extend our deepest condolences to all those affected. We are especially concerned for our LGBTQIA+ siblings who are navigating this disaster without access to safe shelters, community support, or emergency services that affirm their identities. We call on the global community, humanitarian organizations, and local authorities to ensure that relief efforts are inclusive and equitable. LGBTQIA+ people must not be left behind in disaster response and recovery. To our community across Kunar and Nangarhar, you are seen, you are loved, and you are not alone. Rainbow Afghanistan urges everyone who can to donate to verified aid efforts, and advocate for inclusive, affirming relief practices. #AfghanistanEarthquake #Kunar #Nangarhar #AfghanistanRelief #EarthquakeRelief #DisasterResponse #LGBTQIA #LGBTQSupport #InclusiveRelief #HumanitarianAid #RainbowAfghanistan #YouAreNotAlone #CommunitySupport #AidForAfghanistan #EqualityInAid
