Afghanistan recently experienced two powerful aftershocks within 12 hours, significantly worsening the crisis triggered by recent deadly earthquakes that claimed approximately 2,200 lives.
The tremors primarily struck the eastern region of the country. The mountainous terrain and harsh weather conditions have made rescue operations extremely challenging. Many villages were destroyed, and thousands of people are either injured or trapped under rubble.
Rescue teams and aid organizations are working tirelessly to provide essential food, medical supplies, and shelter to survivors. The repeated earthquakes have left communities in a state of shock, urgently needing assistance.
Challenges in Relief Efforts
The major obstacles to the relief efforts include:
- Rugged and remote terrain limiting access
- Harsh weather conditions
- Destruction of infrastructure
In some cases, aid workers have resorted to using donkeys to reach isolated villages inaccessible by vehicles.
Calls for Support and Future Preparedness
Authorities and international agencies are urging for:
- Increased funding for relief operations
- Additional resources to support rescue and recovery
- Investment in stronger infrastructure to withstand future earthquakes
Despite these challenges, ongoing efforts continue to save lives and assist those displaced within the disaster-stricken regions.
