    More than a thousand people died and more than 1,500 were injured after an earthquake in Afghanistan. According to the United States Geological Survey, the earthquake with a magnitude of 5.9 on the Richter scale occurred at 1:24 a.m. Afghanistan time, 46 kilometers from the city of Khost, which is near the border with Pakistan and was followed by a 4.5 magnitude aftershock.

    Mohammad Nasim Haqqani, spokesman for the Afghan Ministry of Response and Disaster Management, acknowledged that the number of victims will increase, since some neighboring provinces were badly affected, including a village in Gayan that was left under the foundations.

    Hibatullah Akhundzada, a Taliban leader, has already sent aid, helicopters and medical supplies to begin support and rescue efforts. In addition, he asked international aid agencies to send special teams to prevent further catastrophe.

    Mawlawi Sharafuddin, Afghan Deputy Minister for Disaster Management, said the quake was felt more than 500 kilometers from Afghanistan, Pakistan and India and “according to initial and primary reports, there are several provinces and districts affected, such as Paktika, Geian, Nekah, Barmal and Zorwaki, Khost, Esparai, Nangahar and Acheen”. Unfortunately, all of these sites have reported deaths and injuries.

    At least 900 dead after the earthquake in Afghanistan

    Sharafuddin also said that “as per the Prime Minister’s orders, US$1,116.19 in cash will be given to the families of the victims and US$558.10 in cash will be given to the families with injuries as urgent aid.”

    Although earthquakes are common in Afghanistan, an event of such intensity and with so many victims has not been reported since 2002.
