Western Afghanistan has been hit by a series of “devastating” earthquakes in the last 10 days that have displaced thousands and created a humanitarian crisis in the already-vulnerable region.
That’s according to Philip Kropf, Head of Communications for the World Food Programme (WFP) in Afghanistan.
