In late August 2025, a 6-magnitude earthquake killed over 800 and injured more than 2,700 in eastern Afghanistan, primarily in Kunar Province.
The Taliban’s response was marked by contradictions: while urging international aid groups to send female health workers due to gender segregation norms, they barred female UN staff from entering affected areas and twice suspended internet and cellular services, hindering relief efforts.
Despite calls for female medical personnel, the Taliban maintained strict restrictions on women’s education and employment, including a ban on university attendance since 2022, though limited exceptions like a nursing program persisted.
Aid workers confirmed women were rescued but kept separate from men during evacuations and not filmed, reflecting ongoing enforcement of conservative policies amid humanitarian demands.
