Shahr-e Bozorg is a village in Badakhshan Province in north-eastern Afghanistan.[1]
During May 1998 this village was at the epicentre of a large earthquake. Support was provided by helicopter and donkey convoy due to the inaccessibility of the area. Medical and emergency food support was provided by a consortium of the Northern Alliance Government and International NGOs assisted by UNOCHA from Faizabad, at that time the capital of the Northern Alliance held area of Afghanistan.
