Afghanistan earthquake death toll jumps to more than 900 with at least 600 injured, authorities say

Afghanistan was rocked by its deadliest earthquake in decades on Wednesday when a magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck the country's east, killing more than 1,000 people and wounding many more, according to a regional official.

The humanitarian disaster comes at a difficult time for the Taliban-ruled country, currently in the throes of a hunger and economic crisis. The shocks hit at 1:24 a.m. local time on Wednesday around 46 kilometers southwest of the city of Khost, which lies close to the country's border with Pakistan, according to the United States Geological Survey .

Sad

Prayers for their family 🙏🏿

Sad.

It’s nice to know that Afghanistan has all the equipment to get these people to hospitals with the helicopters and everything else we left there for them, yes America is a joke when it comes to Afghanistan thanks to old man Joe

Praying does not help. Allah is great, God is good.

hopefully isis got taken out for free. anyone gave them aid?

Very sad

💔 🙏🏽

MOVE TO CLEARWATER FLORIDA

Now is the best time to divert Terrorism funds to relief work

What I don’t understand is why did Pres. Biden & Administration give VP Harris Border if they knew they weren’t going to enforce or do anything. Dumbest mistake it made her look totally incompetent. She should’ve told Biden if I can’t do anything I don’t want it !

🙏🏻

New weapon?

😮 hot damn!

🙏🙏🙏

Less girls to be sold!!!!

Let the Taliban take care of those people... Since they're such a good organization. 😂

🙏🏼

Houses built with mud and rocks are not safe to resist against earthquakes. It is the time to change such way of constructions

Have these people not suffered enough.😔

Oh my god no no no The world need global pray againt global pray Lots of bad bad things happening in this world My prayers to the victims

Should be plenty of tracks in there from the us forces. These guys have been herding goats in this region since time began. This is not their first rodeo. Ironic though, they're seeking g help from the very people they were trying to kill .

Well they have billions in free equipment that Biden Administration left behind. That should help.

Sad news

Is this Joe Bidens fault too On a real nite how very sad …

Thinning the herd

Talaban problems …🫣

Hopefully the ones that died were not the people BIDEN left behind. Disgraceful

How will this affect the price of gas?
