HERAT, Afghanistan - Two 6.3 magnitude earthquakes killed nearly 200 people in western Afghanistan on Saturday, officials said, the second major quake to hit the country in less than two years.
The Taliban administration declared a state of emergency because of the possibility of more aftershocks, said Mr Musa Ashari, the head of the Taliban’s disaster management department for Herat province. The World Health Organisation dispatched 12 ambulances to hard-hit districts in Herat province to help evacuate casualties, it said, cautioning that the areas were remote, making rescue operations difficult. Houses in the area are fragile, the organisation noted, made of mud and brick.
“I am not able to contact my family, network connections are disconnected. I am too worried and scared, it was horrifying.” Herat – 120 kilometres east of the border with Iran – is considered the cultural capital of Afghanistan.
