😔 Early Monday, a powerful earthquake struck the mountains of eastern Afghanistan, leaving communities shattered. The state-run Radio and Television of Afghanistan (RTA) reports at least 500 people have died and more than 1,000 are injured.
In remote villages, collapsed homes and broken roads are making rescue work a race against time. ⛑️ Local volunteers and first responders are digging survivors out of the rubble with basic tools, while aftershocks continue to ripple through the region.
Humanitarian aid is on the move: trucks loaded with blankets, medical kits, and food are heading toward the worst-hit districts. 🚚 Across Asia and beyond, people are sending donations and messages of support to families affected by the disaster.
Power outages and damaged infrastructure are slowing relief efforts, but community heroes from Kabul to Khost are stepping up to coordinate emergency shelters and medical care. Their determination shines through the rubble.
As Afghanistan begins the long road to recovery, global solidarity is more crucial than ever. Together, we can help bring hope back to those who need it most.
