Samira Sayed Rahman, Programs & Advocacy Director at Save the Children Afghanistan, confirms that female doctors and nurses are on the ground treating earthquake victims. Some have falsely claimed women are not allowed to help, but here Samira makes clear this is untrue. She says: “This is now a race against time to save lives… families are desperate for help—to treat injured people, to provide clean water and food.” This is the time to come together and support survivors, not to politicize a tragedy with misinformation. @SSamiraSR
