TL;DR Summary
Powerful earthquakes in western Afghanistan have killed over 2,000 people, leaving entire villages flattened and survivors trapped under rubble. Desperate locals are digging through the wreckage with bare hands and shovels, waiting for help that has been slow to arrive. The lack of rescue equipment and poor medical infrastructure are increasing the death toll and health risks. While some countries, including China and Pakistan, have offered support, the international response has been limited. Aid agencies are calling for urgent assistance to provide food, shelter, and medical aid to the affected communities.
