Dozens of Afghan commandos have been airdropped into a remote mountainous region along Afghanistan’s eastern border with Pakistan. This urgent operation aims to rescue victims of a devastating earthquake that struck late last week. The earthquake has tragically claimed the lives of more than 1,400 people, according to Taliban authorities. The remote location and ongoing aftershocks have made rescue efforts extremely challenging.
Many victims remain trapped under rubble, and emergency services face difficulties reaching remote villages to provide aid. The Taliban government has ramped up efforts to deliver essential food, shelter, and medical supplies to the affected areas. Despite these efforts, hope is fading for finding more survivors as rescue teams race against time.
International organizations, including the United Nations, have reported the rising death toll while acknowledging persistent rescue challenges. The earthquake has deeply impacted local communities and also saddened Afghan American populations abroad, such as those in Sacramento.
Humanitarian assistance and support remain critical as the affected region continues to deal with aftershocks and a complex rescue environment.
