Afghanistan Earthquake: 800+ Dead, 2,500 Injured | @theworldeng | #Earthquake #quake

A devastating magnitude 6 earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border, killing over 600 people and injuring 1,500. The quake, hitting Kunar and Nangarhar provinces, destroyed several villages, leaving children, women, and the elderly trapped under rubble. Emergency teams, including 30 doctors and 800kg of medical supplies, are being deployed to aid survivors.

Rescue operations face extreme challenges due to damaged roads and mud-brick homes collapsing. Helicopters are transporting hundreds of injured individuals to Jalalabad Regional Hospital, while the Afghan Red Crescent provides vital emergency support. The UN has called the earthquake “devastating” and is coordinating relief efforts to save lives and assist affected communities.

Afghanistan has a history of deadly earthquakes, especially in the Hindu Kush mountain range. Past earthquakes in 2023, 2022, 2015, and 2002 caused significant casualties and destruction. Stay updated with live coverage and help support rescue efforts for those affected.
