HI has been supporting the Afghan people since 1987, starting its operations in Pakistan. Since 1996, HI has been operating across Afghanistan in order to launch victim assistance interventions, working at different levels of the society and adopting a cross-sectoral approach. While present on the ground to directly support victims of the conflict through the provision of a range of services – from physical rehabilitation, to mine risk education and inclusive livelihoods – HI has been continuously advocating to increase the rights of victims and other people with disabilities in the country. In particular, and in line with its global strategy and priorities, HI has been advocating to reduce the use of landmines and conventional weapons. Acknowledging the need to respond to the urgent emergency crises combined with longer term, chronic gaps in the provision of services, HI has steadily expanded its range of activities and services in order to support the most vulnerable people, enhancing their resilience while strengthening participation and inclusion of all individuals.

On 31 August 2025 at 23:47 local time, a 6+ magnitude earthquake struck Nangarhar and Kunar provinces in eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border. The epicenter was in Nurgal district, about 45 km north of Jalalabad and 12 km north of Nurgal city. Its shallow depth of 8–10 km made the quake particularly destructive, followed by aftershocks including a 5.6 magnitude tremor on 4 September. The hardest-hit areas are Kunar, Nangarhar, and Laghman provinces.

As of 8 September, over 2,150 people have died, 3,360 injured, and more than 6,500 homes destroyed or severely damaged. Twenty health facilities were damaged or destroyed (WHO), with numbers expected to rise. Around 84,000 people are directly affected, on top of nearly half a million already in need of humanitarian aid (HRP/HNO 2025). This earthquake is among the deadliest in recent Afghan history and has overwhelmed local capacities.

As HI has no presence in the affected area, HI Afghanistan deployed an exploratory mission and is sending an Emergency Rehabilitation Specialized-Care team (funded by Relief EU) to provide direct rehabilitation services.

HI is also considering new emergency projects in the East, pending funding from AHF/BMZ/CDCS. Alongside the emergency team, a full support team will need to be established.
