We extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved We extend our deepest condolences to the bereaved families and our heartfelt sympathy to all those who are enduring loss, injury, and displacement amid #afghanistanearthquake  We particularly acknowledge and commend our colleagues in the @afg.socialworkersorganization , who, despite immense challenges, continue to serve affected individuals and communities with dedication and compassion. Their unwavering commitment reflects the core values of the social work profession—upholding human dignity, providing care in times of crisis, and fostering resilience in the face of adversity.  This tragedy underscores the urgent need for international cooperation. We call upon the global community—governments, humanitarian organizations, and civil society—to work together in mobilizing immediate assistance and to support Afghanistan’s longer-term recovery and reconstruction. Solidarity and coordinated action are essential to ensuring that those most affected receive the support they need to rebuild their lives and communities.
