Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
A 6.1 earthquake struck a rural, mountainous region of eastern Afghanistan early Wednesday, killing at least 1,000 people and injuring 1,500 more in one of the deadliest quakes in decades.
The damage in an area where homes and other buildings are poorly constructed and landslides are common. Experts put the depth at around 6 miles another factor that could lead to severe destruction.
The European seismological agency, EMSC, said the earthquake’s tremors were felt over 310 miles by 119 million people across Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.”
Rescuers hurried to the area by helicopter Wednesday, but the response is likely to be complicated since many international aid agencies left Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover.
A Taliban official asked for international help. “When such a big incident happens in any country, there is a need for help from other countries,” said Sharafuddin Muslim.
“It is very difficult for us to be able to respond to this huge incident.”In most places in the world, an earthquake of that magnitude wouldn’t inflict such extensive devastation, said Robert Sanders, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. But a quake’s death toll more often comes down to geography, building quality, and population density.
The Afghan Red Crescent Society, however, sent some 4,000 blankets, 800 tents, and 800 kitchen kits to the affected area, according to Bakhtar’s director-general, Abdul Wahid Rayan.
“The fear is that the victims will increase further, also because many people could be trapped under collapsed buildings,” said Stefano Sozza, country director for Emergency in Afghanistan.
“This latest tragedy cannot but worsen further the condition of fragility and economic and social difficulties which Afghanistan has experienced for months.
Pray for the people in Afghanistan.
