Overseas Network, June 23rd. According to the Afghan Times, officials in Taliban Afghanistan said that as of the morning of the 23rd local time, a magnitude 6.2 earthquake in eastern Afghanistan had killed at least 1,500 people and more than 2,000 people were injured. After the earthquake, many countries announced humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan.

Affected by climate disasters such as heavy rain and landslides, search and rescue operations are difficult, and it is difficult for rescuers to reach remote mountainous areas. Survivors can only dig their rubble on the ruins and search for surviving companions. The Ministry of Health of Afghanistan said that as of the morning of the 24th, about 1,000 people had been rescued, but many people were buried and needed more assistance.

On the 23rd, South Korea announced that it would provide humanitarian assistance worth $ 1 million, and Japan also announced that it would evaluate the disaster and provide necessary assistance. The U.S. government said it is monitoring the disaster situation and evaluating the disaster relief plan. At present, Pakistan has begun to transport rescue supplies, and 8 trucks carrying tents and medicines are driving locally.

The United Nations coordinator in Afghanistan and humanitarian coordinator Alacbarov said on the 22nd that the United Nations has sent 10 tons of medical supplies to the local area and sent 18 groups of medical personnel to the earthquake area. Due to poor climate conditions, more assistance is expected to arrive in the next few days. (Overseas Network Wang Xiaoyu)
