It is reported that at least 812 people were killed as a result of the strong earthquake that occurred in Afghanistan's Kunar and Nangarhar provinces. According to official data, another 2,800 people were injured. The "Taliban" administration is asking the international community for urgent assistance.
According to Reuters news agency, rescue operations are being carried out under difficult conditions due to the mountainous terrain and rainy weather. Connection with some populated areas has been lost, and roads are blocked, so aid has not yet reached everyone.
The Taliban administration and UN officials have stated that the number of casualties may increase. So far, only China and India have promised practical assistance to Afghanistan. The "Taliban" government is criticizing the international aid workers for their low activity.
This is the third major earthquake to occur since the "Taliban" came to power in 2021.
In the current situation, the administration, which has limited financial and technical resources, is asking for more active help from the international community.
