The World Health Organization urges the Taliban to allow female aid workers to assist earthquake victims in Afghanistan. Restrictions prevent women from accessing care. A shortage of female medical staff exacerbates the crisis. The earthquake killed over 2,200 people. Thousands are homeless. Aid cuts and Taliban policies hinder relief efforts.
