The United Nations has mobilized 25 special teams to address the recent earthquake consequences in Afghanistan and to accurately assess the situation. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The organization’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs officially announced this. According to the UN press service, the organization has deployed at least 25 teams to study and analyze the situation in the region and is actively assisting in mitigating the effects of the natural disaster.
Essential supplies are being delivered to populated areas on time. At the same time, the stock of necessary materials for building shelters and medical equipment is decreasing, and current funding is insufficient to meet all needs.
The natural disaster has caused numerous crises in the region, including severe drought and the risk of millions of refugees returning from neighboring countries. On August 31, a 6.2 magnitude earthquake occurred in the Hindu Kush mountains.
This earthquake struck 27 kilometers southwest of the city of Asadabad in eastern Afghanistan. As a result of strong tremors, many villages were destroyed, landslides blocked roads, and communication lines were cut off.
Rescue operations continue under difficult conditions in the mountainous areas. According to Afghan officials, the death toll from the earthquake has reached 1,411 people, with 3,124 injured.
This situation has further worsened the region’s condition, once again highlighting the necessity of international aid and urgent rescue efforts.
