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!

In Herat province a total of 12,110 people were affected by the earthquake, Zindajan district was the epicenter of the disaster & is the worst affected area with 1,320 families affected with 1,294 deaths & 1,688 injured reported, including another 485 people reported missing and almost all houses in the area affected & destroyed. 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.

I don't really know how to say this so let me just jump in here and put this into perspective a little bit, as someone who's lived in an EXTREMELY earthquake prone area of the US for most of her life:

in Alaska, an M6.1 or 5.9 earthquake pauses your day for maybe 5 minutes. you hear it before you see it, maybe something falls off your shelves. you perk up, listen closely and pay attention; take stock of where everyone around you is, where the exits are, and places you can shelter if it gets big. usually, that means a large piece of furniture, or if you're in a concrete building, the nearest doorway. you stop your day, stay put, take stock until it's over. pick up anything that's fallen, maybe exchange glances with someone nearby — that one was bigger than normal, eh? might be some little aftershocks later, we should move those glass trinkets from the top shelf — and then you move on.

"Normal" in a place like Alaska or California means anything from M1.5 through about M5.3. anything above that is much, much more notable, but not devastating. the largest earthquake I've ever experienced was the M7.1 on November 30th, 2018. that was hecking terrifying, both because it was huge and because it lasted so much longer than normal. but no lives were lost. two roads — one a highway overpass, and the other a city road built overtop an unstable marsh — were destroyed and some already old and vulnerable, unused buildings collapsed. a bunch of people's glass objects broke. my family went on with our day as it was planned, pausing only to take stock of how big each aftershock was.

November 30th, 2018, epicenter at Point MacKenzie Alaska. Magnitude 7.1. zero lives lost.

June 22nd, 2022, epicenter Southwest of Khost Afghanistan. Magnitude 5.9. over 1000 lives lost and hundreds more injured.

I don't usually talk about global news or topics like this, like, AT ALL, bc I'm really just here to have fun and be nice to people, but the perspective of this is haunting to me. in the West, we live in a place of privilege. we have infrastructure and building codes — Alaska and I believe Cali as well has SPECIFIC BUILDING CODES designed around the prevalence of earthquakes in those areas — that offer us the ability to remain relatively unaffected by the single most unpredictable form of natural disaster. the Golden Gate Bridge has hung suspended over a full mile of open air directly beside the San Andreas fault for 85 years.

I've always been saddened by the decade-old reports of the 2010 Haiti earthquake — magnitude 7.0, over 160,000-316,000 lives lost. I've lived what that felt like, but from a place of incredible safety. my house didn't fall down around me, the ground wasn't taken from under me. I ran outside in slippers and waited it out, then went back inside 10 minutes later and had breakfast. I've lived what a 5.9 feels like, and continued on preparing dinner. the ground was solid under me. my house was firm around me. the people of Afghanistan can't say the same.

I guess all I'm really trying to say is that we take our own safety for granted. it genuinely is difficult for me to compute the damage this recent earthquake in Afghanistan has caused, because I'm looking at it from halfway across the world and a country that is no longer so devastated when the earth gives way. it feels a little like a slap in the face, like a reminder of blessing, and I think that it's worth mentioning

#it just punches me in the gut when i read about this #i am so desensitized to things that the rest of the world is devastated by #I'm also incredibly blessed honestly #this isn't trying to like. shame anyone i just think it's interesting #reading about stuff like this breaks my heart tbh #Lu rambles #world news #afghanistan earthquake
