Afghan Earthquake over 1,000 deaths
 

[A powerful earthquake has killed
at least 1,000 people and injured 1,500
in eastern Afghanistan,
an official of the ruling Taliban
told the BBC.
The Taliban appealed for international help
for the rescue effort as pictures showed
landslides and ruined mud-built homes
in the province of Paktika.
The quake struck shortly after
01:30 (21:00 GMT Tuesday)
as people slept.

Hundreds of houses were destroyed by
the magnitude 6.1 event,
which occurred at a depth of 51km (32 miles).
It is the deadliest earthquake to strike
Afghanistan in two decades and a major
challenge for the Taliban, the Islamist
movement which regained power
last year after the Western-backed
government collapsed.
The earthquake struck about 44km from the
city of Khost and tremors were felt
as far away as Pakistan and India.
Witnesses reported feeling the quake
in both Afghanistan's capital, Kabul,
and Pakistan's capital, Islamabad.]

I heard on the radio that the Taliban are requesting help/aid ... money , food , medicine , supplies etc ..


I just wouldn’t trust them to pass any of it onto those who need it

They need to drop Aid Direct in the Area
by Helicopter,


No need to go through the Taliban

Send Aid by Helicopters

Ch4HDnews
gave a Shocking Report,

The Taliban Leaders took a Helicopter
to visit the area
but took no medicine or food.

Many are still injured from the building falling on them.

As expected
