Afghanistan Earthquake Kills 800, Injures 2,800, Taliban Asks World for Help - Hawaii Tribune-Herald
The UAE dispatched a rescue team and delivered essential aid including food, medical supplies, and tents to assist over 800 victims of the earthquake in eastern Afghanistan.
- A magnitude 6 earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan around midnight on Sunday, killing at least 812 people primarily in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces.
- The earthquake occurred amid a humanitarian crisis worsened by a sharp reduction in foreign aid and deportations of over 2 million Afghans this year by neighboring countries.
- Rescue efforts faced major challenges from rough mountainous terrain, recent heavy rains, inclement weather, and overstretched aid groups after earlier U.S. aid suspensions over Taliban misappropriation claims.
- Survivors reported urgent needs for ambulances, doctors, and supplies as entire villages were destroyed and injured people walked hours to reach first aid points.
- The disaster is expected to strain Afghanistan’s Taliban administration further, with humanitarian aid shrinking from $3.8 billion in 2022 to $767 million this year, prompting calls for increased international support.
