Aerial search for survivors after Afghan quake kills 800 people

The article reports on the devastating earthquake that struck southeastern Afghanistan, killing at least 800 people and injuring hundreds more. The quake, with a magnitude of 6.1, occurred in a remote and mountainous region, making rescue efforts incredibly challenging. Rescue teams are facing significant obstacles, as the affected areas are difficult to access due to the rugged terrain and debris-strewn roads. Aerial search operations are underway, but the mountainous landscape poses further challenges. The earthquake has left many people displaced and in need of urgent assistance, including food, shelter, and medical care. The Taliban government, which has been struggling with a severe economic crisis, has appealed for international aid and support to respond to the disaster effectively. The article emphasizes the scale of the tragedy and the challenges facing the rescue and recovery efforts in the aftermath of this devastating natural disaster in Afghanistan.
