A recent earthquake has left many in need of support. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is calling for sustained assistance for affected communities. One month after the earthquake, addressing the health, mental health, and housing needs of the most affected communities remains a priority.

Officially, 60,000 people are registered as affected. The immediate search and rescue operations have concluded in most areas. However, those affected still require health attention to prevent complications from chronic diseases or interrupted vaccination schedules.

They also need psychosocial support to cope with grief and trauma, as well as access to essential items for hygiene, rest, and food preparation. Further details on the situation and the needed support are available from the source.
