Afghans have described "doomsday" scenes in the aftermath of a deadly earthquake that claimed 1,000 lives in the war-ravaged country.Afghanistan's ambassador in Australia says deaths could reach 2,500Rescuers are digging through rubble with their hands, and the ripple effects of"It's a doomsday scenario at the hospitals," Abdul Bari, head of community group Khaberial Welfare Foundation, told the ABC.
Sayid Mossavi is the vice-president of the Australian Afghan Hassanian Youth Association, an NGO that has a handful of volunteers in the country, who have made their way to Paktika in the wake of the disaster."The country was already suffering. And now it's even worse. There are a lot of people who are displaced — they have nowhere to go, they have no shelter."
"There are literally no jobs around, the men from these communities go and do labour-intensive jobs in different countries of the world to support families back home, and now their homes got uprooted," he said.Afghanistan's ambassador in Canberra said the Taliban's grip on power should not prevent the federal government or Australians from donating generously to help his country recover from the catastrophic earthquake.
But he said he was confident Australia could still send money to help Afghans struggling in the wake of the crisis without funnelling funds to the Taliban, largely by making sure donations were made to third parties, including the United Nations and international relief organisations. Foreign Minister Penny Wong has called the earthquake "heartbreaking" and promised to "work with partners to respond to this crisis".Mr Waissi said the suffering from the earthquake had been compounded by other natural disasters supercharged by climate change, including floods and heavy rains last month.
20 years of occupations by US, NATO and Australian forces... now ABC go back to support US and NATO in Ukraine and tell everyone how good are rebranded far-right neo-nazi, just like Afgan mujahideen who become Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
I’m sure their new pals, China will come to their rescue.
Send aid to the women who are so badly treated by men
disprove their theory that fundamentalist leaders would spare them from disasters
Still less lives than Islam
These people need aid sent via crypto assets Bitcoin or Ethereum The government is corrupt and aid agencies more than likely too. Banking system sounds like its broken and the only international money transfer system is banned due to suspicion of money laundering activity.
So the infidel money is ok.
