Nurgal District, Afghanistan – In eastern Afghanistan’s remote mountain districts, months after a powerful earthquake tore through communities, thousands of families remain without permanent homes, sheltering under fragile tents. Now winter has set in, compounding the crisis. Plastic tarpaulins flap against the wind, firewood is scarce, and as temperatures continue to drop, each night becomes a test of endurance. “I was asleep when the earthquake happened,” recalls Safaraz.
