“Our hearts are with victims of the avalanche tragedy and the many Afghans in desperate need of immediate assistance in Panjshir Province,” said Ehsan Bayat, founder of the Bayat Foundation. “We hope these immediately-available emergency financial resources help support ongoing emergency relief activities and, when conditions improve so as to allow better access to the region, we look forward to reaching out to further assist families in the affected area.”
