Kieran Lockhart, Sep, 2 2025
A 6.0 earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan near Jalalabad around midnight, killing more than 1,100 people and injuring over 3,250. Entire villages collapsed in mountainous areas that are hard to reach. Helicopters ferried the wounded as the Afghan Red Crescent and local residents led rescue work. The country’s fragile infrastructure and multiple crises are hampering relief and recovery.
