Afghanistan recently experienced a 5.2 magnitude earthquake, today morning as reported by the National Center for Seismology. This occurrence follows a tragic incident in October, where a powerful magnitude-6.3 earthquake, accompanied by robust aftershocks, resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives in western Afghanistan, according to the country’s national disaster authority and the Associated Press.
The earthquake was so powerful that it caused widespread destruction, with numerous houses collapsing like stacks of cards. After the devastation, the western city of Afghanistan witnessed significant damage. As a result, many people were not only physically injured but also left in a state of despair. The aftermath of this natural disaster has posed considerable challenges, especially in providing immediate assistance and relief to the affected population.
