The August 31, 2025 devastating earthquake that struck the eastern provinces of Afghanistan, particularly Kunar, Nangarhar, and Laghman, caused extensive human and material losses. According to reports, approximately 2,200 people lost their lives and over 3,600 others were injured. Hundreds of homes were damaged, and more than 6,700 residential buildings along with numerous vital infrastructures, including schools, clinics, and agricultural and irrigation systems, suffered destruction. Nearly half a million people were directly affected by the earthquake, leaving many families homeless and in urgent need of assistance.
In response to this crisis, Be Team’s Cure Hospital dispatched a specialized team of doctors and healthcare workers to the affected areas. The journey was extremely challenging; the team faced difficult and impassable routes for vehicles along the way and potential aftershocks in the area. Nevertheless, through dedication and coordination, they reached one of the hardest-hit regions, Dara Dewagal in Chawkai District, Kunar Province, and established a free medical service camp.
Nothing stops the team. Be Team International’s Cure Hospital deploys to Afghanistan’s most remote regions during crises — navigating rugged mountain roads to bring medical care to women, children, and families who have nowhere else to turn.

The deployed team was a multidisciplinary unit, including specialists in internal medicine and family medicine, nursing staff, pharmacy personnel, a primary care unit and ambulance, enabling the provision of comprehensive and immediate healthcare services to the affected population. During the camp operations, hundreds of patients received medical examinations, treatments, and essential health education and counseling to prevent further diseases.
This initiative reflects the ongoing commitment of Cure Hospital and Be Team International to deliver essential and urgent services to victims of natural disasters in Afghanistan. The Cure Hospital team treated 448 victims that included men, women and children, which played a critical role in alleviating human suffering, preserving health, and saving lives.
