Headline and summary by local AI

The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) reconstructed a health centre in the Zinda Jan district of Herat province, Afghanistan.

The agency rebuilt the facility with financial support from the Government of Japan and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The original building suffered damage during the 2023 earthquakes. Before the reconstruction, the facility faced water shortages, a lack of hygienic toilets, and insufficient waiting space for patients.

The new health centre now provides medical services to more than 30,000 people in the region.
