The spokesman for the Ministry of Health, Charafat Zaman, called on the international community to help eliminate the consequences of the disaster. He noted that the Taliban administration’s resources are exhausted.
According to Kate Care, the UN Humanitarian Coordination Department, the earthquake area has suffered from heavy rain in the previous 24-48 hours, which increases the risk of landslides and collapses, which is why many roads remain impassable.
Carey says rescuers and authorities are trying to quickly destroy the animal corpses to minimize the risk of pollution.
The authorities warn that the number of victims can grow as rescue teams gradually reach isolated areas.
China expressed his willingness to help eliminate the consequences of natural disaster “according to Afghanistan’s needs and within his capabilities.”
India’s Foreign Minister Subramania Jayshankar stated that India had delivered 1,000 tents to Kabul and 15 tons of food to the Kunar province, and additional humanitarian aid is planned from Tuesday.
