Earthquake Creates Humanitarian Crisis In Afghanistan
Newsy
A remote area of mainly mud-brick villages crumbled and collapsed, killing at least 1,000 people. A total of 155 children died, and 55 were orphaned.
Newsy’s exclusive footage from an earthquake zone in Afghanistan shows that nearly a week after the deadliest earthquake there in decades, the humanitarian crisis is compounding the suffering.
A boy named Majullah says he woke up with his six other family members under bricks and dust. And even after he escaped, the Earth was still shaking.
"Our houses are totally collapsed and we can’t live in them anymore," he said. "There are no houses remaining to live in. People have nothing to even eat or wear."
