UN Women, expressing concern about the catastrophic consequences of the eastern Afghanistan earthquake, has warned that women and girls are the most vulnerable to this disaster.

Naaji Noushi, an Indian woman traveler, has released a new video from her trip to Afghanistan, warning that under Taliban rule the country is no longer a safe destination for tourism and advising her followers not to travel there.

The Afghanistan Women’s Movement in Exile, in a statement of protest, has condemned the Taliban’s decision to remove women’s photos from ID cards, calling it a “clear violation of citizenship rights” and part of the group’s “gender apartheid project.”

Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, has called for urgent and increased assistance to the survivors of the eastern Afghanistan earthquake, stressing that current resources are not sufficient to meet the needs.
