Afghans face a real catastrophe due to the earthquake that resulted in the deaths and loss of dozens, but the Afghans said that we do not want money, but rather helped us to recover the bodies of our loved ones from under the rubble, according to press statements by British Telegraph.
Afghans: We do not want money, but rather help us bury our loved ones
The Afghan government faces great challenges in dealing with the disaster, amid a lack of equipment, cadres and resources, while distress calls from the affected villages escalate.
A strong earthquake struck east of Afghanistan just before midnight, causing a humanitarian catastrophe that killed hundreds of people and caused widespread destruction in mountain villages.
The earthquake, which was 6 degrees on the Richter scale, killed at least 1411 people and wounded 3124 others, after he shook the mountainous province of Konar near the Pakistani border at 11:47 pm.
Afghanistan and the earthquake
Entire houses collapsed, and families were crushed under the rubble, while the residents were asleep in fragile mud houses that were unable to resist the earthquakes.
17 individuals from one family were killed in one moment, after the roof and walls of the house fell. Only one man of this family survived.
The villagers in the affected areas continued to search between the rubble for neighborhoods or bodies, expressing their sense of isolation and ignorance, in the absence of any urgent response or tangible international support.
