DEATH TOLL IN AFGHAN EARTHQUAKE RISES AS BODIES ARE PULLED FROM THE RUBBLE

According to Afghan Taliban officials, more than 2'400 people have been killed in a devastating 6.3 magnitude Earthquake that hit the drought-stricken Herat region of Afghanistan on Saturday. The Herat region of Afghanistan is home to more than 1.9 million Afghans and the region is renowned for its abundant, top quality crops.

According to a statement from the United Nations Humanitarian Office, all of the homes in the Zindajan district of Herat have been leveled, burying survivors in rubble, leaving many homeless throughout the region as winter approaches, and creating major challenges for aid organizations to provide food, clothing and shelter.

Afghans are already suffering under a crushing sanctions regime imposed by the Biden Administration, complicating rescue and aid efforts for the Taliban government while the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have suspended aid to the impoverished country which had been occupied by US and NATO forces for two decades.

"The operation is still going on, still some people are being pulled out of the rubble,” the spokesman of Heart’s governor, Nissar Ahmad Elyias told reporters.

"Many people have come from far-flung districts to get people out from the rubble,” said Khalid, 32, at Kashkak in Zindajan district 30 kilometers northwest of Herat city, capital of the same-named province.

“Everyone is busy searching for bodies everywhere, we don’t know if there are others as well under the debris.”

“Many of our family members have been martyred, including one of my sons, and my other son is also injured,” Herat resident Mir Ahmed told Reuters at a hospital that was treating many survivors.

“Most of the people are under the rubble.”

GOFUNDME FOR EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS IN AFGHANISTAN!

Zindajan district is located 40 km west of Herat city. Unfortunately, six schools were also destroyed and another eight were reported partially damaged by the disaster.

SELDO has distributed relief kits to the villages of Naieb Rafi, Sar boland and Kushk which were most affected by the earthquake and we will cover all the villages which are in dire need of assistance. However, the needs are still immense and urgent. The number of victims is changing every day and many people are still living in temporary shelters without adequate access to water, sanitation, health care and protection. Therefore, we plan to continue our support to earthquake-affected families and to conduct a comprehensive assessment and survey of the causes and humanitarian needs in the area. SELDO will also help rebuild schools, homes, and infrastructure that were damaged or destroyed by the earthquake once the assessment is complete. You can learn more about our work and mission on our SELDO website.

due to the war going on here, this pieces of news was buried, so I'm using the current track in in my blog to gain some attention!

Yesterday (Sunday 8/10/2023) there has been an earthquake in Afghanistan, located 40 km north of Herat and devastated at least 12 villages. Taliban reports more that 2400 dead and injured (numbers are hazy as they tend to be in the first week), and I've seen reports that they are still digging people out in their bare hands. It was a 6.3 quake and will lead to an even bigger humanitarian crisis (the Turkey-Syria quake was 7.7).

I do not know of any organizations of bodies you can donate to that ensure the money and assistance will get to the people in Afghanistan and not other people, so if you know of any, feel free to add them here and I'll give as much boost as I can.

Please pray for Afghanistan and the surrounding area, they had yet another earthquake

Prayer For Protection Against Danger

Mother of Jesus, be our protector and defender against all that is harmful or evil. Bring our needs before Almighty God, that we may be surrounded by God‘s Holy Angels, and given the grace to conquer every danger and overcome all that would threaten our health and well-being.

Be for us, light and times of darkness, strength when we are weak, wisdom in our confusion, healing, and times of illness, and courage to work through life’s problems and difficulties. Give us joy when we are sad, bread to feed our hunger, and eternal life to defeat the power of death.

Virgin Mary, guide our life-journey, so that we may always walk safely together with you and your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, in God‘s loving friendship. Amen.

Afghanistan’s Heart in suffer after the third earthquake in nearly a week

A magnitude 6.3 earthquake has struck Afghanistan’s western Herat province, the third after the powerful earthquakes since 8 October that killed more than 2,000 people.

The earthquake occurred just after 8 a.m. on Sunday, the epicentre was located 33 km north-west of the city of Herat, the capital of the western province of the same name. A magnitude 5.5 aftershock followed 20 minutes later, according to The United States Geological Survey.

Many residents in the area were reportedly still sleeping outside on Sunday, fearing their homes would collapse and be trapped under rubble. And shortly after the earthquake, dust storms began, which only exacerbated the situation and damaged the tents where people were living.

“Herat’s people are panicked and scared,” AFP quoted 27-year-old shopkeeper Hamid Nizami as saying. “It’s Allah’s blessing that it happened during the day, people were awake.”
