Afghanistan shakes: tens of thousands of victims after devastating earthquakes!

The east of Afghanistan is currently suffering from the devastating consequences of severe earthquakes that have shaken the region in the past few days. An earthquake with a thickness of 6.0 and a depth of eight kilometers was registered about a week ago. According to report the Small newspaper Since then, the Taliban and the Afghan red crescent moon have been alerted, which together have documented around 2,200 deaths and more than 3,600 injuries. The rescue work continues, while the situation of the local people appears increasingly dramatic.

Christina Ihle, Managing Director of the Afghan Women's Association in Hamburg, describes the situation as extremely worrying. Affected areas are often difficult to reach through landslides and rock falls, which makes it extremely difficult to transport relief goods. A resident of the province of Nangarhar described the earthquake as a "end of the world" and rejected reports on women left behind. According to his statements, targeted evacuations of women, children and the elderly would take place, while many men continue to look for their relatives.

Rescue and auxiliary measures

The aid organizations are working hard to address the needs of the survivors. According to the Daily show There are reports about damaged families who have lost everything. They now live among makeshift planning and are urgently dependent on humanitarian aid. The UN coordinator for humanitarian aid warns that hundreds of thousands of people could be affected. The region has been marked by earthquakes, floods and conflicts for years.

Helpers often have to walk for several hours to reach the difficult to access villages. Organizations such as Care and Action Medeor are ready and carry out needs analyzes. They offer medical care, food, water and hygiene articles. The Afghan red crescent also emphasizes that the auxiliary measures are implemented efficiently and in a targeted manner.

Urgent call for donations

The concerns of the aid organizations are clear: they urgently ask for donations to be able to provide acute emergency aid. Reports of the on -site use show that donations are used efficiently. Christina Ihle emphasizes that the security of the donations is guaranteed and the help can be provided in an independent and neutral way.

The picture on site is still worrying. While the global community of the Afghan population wants to help in this tragic period, the challenge of adequately supporting those affected and traumatized people remains. The improvements and the reconstruction will, if not years, take up for the lives of those affected to normalize again.
