A powerful earthquake struck the mountainous eastern region of Afghanistan, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. The Taliban authorities have reported that the death toll has climbed to over 2,200, with rescue teams struggling to reach isolated areas affected by the tremor. Another earthquake hit the same region shortly after, further complicating the relief and recovery efforts. The disaster has put a spotlight on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, where the Taliban government is facing significant challenges in providing aid and assistance to the affected communities. The international community has expressed its readiness to support the relief efforts, but the long-term recovery and rebuilding process will require sustained support and coordination.
