On Thursday, rescue workers pulled bodies from the rubble of homes in Afghanistan’s earthquakes as the number of certified casualties is at the top of 2,200, while the homeless survivors have faced a dark future with global aid agencies, which has low resources.

The Taliban administration said the search was underway in the eastern region of the earthquake, the Taliban administration said, with at least 3,640 people were injured and new killings of 2,205 were announced.

“We have all been destroyed,” said Alim Jan, whose house is located in the worst affected province.

“These are the clothes on our backs,” said January.

In recent years, Afghanistan’s deadliest, dimension -6 earthquake, widespread damage and destruction spread in the provinces of Kannar and Nangarhar on Sunday, when it attacked 10 km (6 miles).

On Tuesday, the second earthquake of -5.5 was disrupted in panic and rescue efforts when it slids the rocks under the mountains and cut roads in villages in remote areas.

More than 6,700 houses have been destroyed, officials said. The United Nations has warned that with the end of time for the survivors, the tool can still increase with people trapped under the rubble.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Society said humanitarian needs are “growing wider and rapidly”. “Up to 84,000 people are directly and indirectly affected, thousands are homeless,” he added.

According to a worldwide diagnosis of British -based charity Islamic Relief, two of the three people were killed or injured in some of the worst affected villages in the Kanar province of Kanar province, while 98 % of the earthquake was destroyed or damaged or damaged.

The survivors searched the houses intensely, raised the bodies on the stretches made, and digs the graves with pixes waiting for help.

The video showed trucks, some flour sacks and other shulting men, traveling to remote villages on high slopes. Authorities also obtained dozens of commando forces in places where helicopters could not land.

Afghanistan is suffering from a deadly earthquake, especially in the Hindu Kush mountain range, where Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates are found.

Most dried architects, stone and wooden houses, some families prefer to sit openly instead of returning home because aftershocks continue regularly.

The UN office for the UN Humanitarian Affairs said that the houses provided little protection from the earthquake, remaining unstable for heavy rainfall.

The South Asian country has the resources for rescue and relief work, of which 42 million people have been infiltrated through war, poverty and shrinking aid, where the harsh weather offers another challenge.

The reduction of funds for US President Donald Trump’s foreign aid and donor frustration and its sanctions on Taliban -banned policies and rescue workers on women have worsened Afghanistan’s isolation.

The World Health Organization has identified the $ 3 million funding difference, saying that during the increasing demand, it is important to maintain medicines, trauma kits, and necessary commodities.

His country’s head, John Aleif, told Reuters on Wednesday that the UN World Food Program has finances and stocks to help survivors for another four weeks.

Norwegian Refugee Council’s Jacopo Karni called on donors to move beyond life -saving relief to provide Afghans ahead of a permanent emergency in the future.

“The earthquake should be a reminder work: Afghanistan cannot be left to face only one crisis after another,” he said.
