IEA launches construction of 50 new homes for earthquake victims in Kunar

The Information and Culture Department of Kunar Province has announced the launch of a new housing project by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), aimed at supporting families affected by recent earthquakes.The initiative will see the construction of 50 new homes at an estimated cost of 35.9 million afghanis (AFN).

Speaking at the launch, the Deputy Governor of Kunar emphasized the significance of the project. “Initial emergency aid was delivered swiftly to those affected, and now we are beginning the next crucial phase—providing permanent shelter for the victims,” he stated.

This latest effort follows the earlier commencement of an 80-home residential settlement in the province, reflecting the government’s broader strategy to rebuild and rehabilitate earthquake-hit regions across Afghanistan.

Officials from the Islamic Emirate have previously visited the disaster-affected areas, assuring residents that their challenges would be addressed and that long-term housing solutions were underway.

The initiative underscores the government’s ongoing commitment to restoring the lives and livelihoods of communities impacted by natural disasters, and ensuring sustainable recovery for affected families.
