An additional test for Afghanistan was the return of 2.4 million Afghan refugees from Iran and Pakistan. Earthquake in Afghanistan: under the rubble there may still be living Humanitarian assistance In remote areas of East Afghanistan, an extraordinary humanitarian operation unfolds after a powerful earthquake that shook this part of the country last Sunday. According to the latest data, the number of dead exceeds 800 people, more than two thousand were injured. As the head of the UN Humanitarian Mission in Afghanistan, Indrika Ratwatt, emphasized, the total number of victims can be calculated hundreds of thousands. Speaking from Kabul from the video, Ratatta explained that in the mountain provinces that were affected by disaster, houses with clay walls and wooden roofs prevail. “When the walls collapse, the roof falls on people, kills them or crushes them. Since the earthquake occurred at night, everyone slept, ”he said, adding that many still remain under the rubble. & Amp; nbsp; according to Ratwatt, hundreds of thousands of people can potentially be affected, since many houses have been destroyed, cattle were killed and life support systems were damaged. In the first critical 24 hours, access to the injured areas was extremely limited due to landslides and rocks caused by underground shocks and recent rains. & Amp; nbsp; emergency mobilization of efforts 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62The UN sent 20 teams to the distress zone to assess the situation in the field and 15 mobile groups to support humanitarian flights between Kabul and Jalalabad, the capital of the injured province of Nangarhar. As Ratwatt noted, the lack of communication with a number of communities and the difficulties with landing helicopters create additional obstacles: “It is extremely difficult to get to these areas and evacuate the victims.” He noted the urgent need for the disposal of bodies and deceased cattle to prevent outbreaks of dangerous infections. & Amp; nbsp; one of the first to call to help the victims Afghan red crescent responded. Joy Singhal, representing the International Federation of the Society of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent, noted that more people could be saved if the roads were cleared: “Our employees and volunteers sometimes have to walk for four to five hours to get to remote villages “. & nbsp; required & nbsp; tents, food and medical care To protect themselves from the cold, residents of mountainous areas urgently need tents, tents and blankets. People also need hot food and food rations, said Amy Martin, head of the UN Coordinating Office for Humanitarian Affairs (UKGV) in Afghanistan. According to her, mobile medical brigades work in a number of areas, but they are not enough: “At this stage it is very important to establish traumatological and first medical care.” & Amp; nbsp; ~ 60 > crisis in the crisis as Indrika Ratwatt noted, Afghanistan has long come across “systemic systems Humanitarian problems. ” Half of the country’s population – about 22.5 million people – needs food assistance. The situation worsened due to the recent drought. Since the beginning of the year, financing of humanitarian programs in Afghanistan has declined sharply, which led to the closure of hundreds of assistance centers. & Amp; NBSP; an additional test was the return of 2.4 million Afghan refugees from Iran and Pakistan this year. According to the representative of the UN Supreme Commissioner for Refugees (UVKB) Babar Balokh, half of them were deported: “People were simply laid on buses and left on the border.” Most of the returning were sent precisely to those areas that have now suffered from the earthquake. & Amp; nbsp; “We work at the limit of our capabilities,” Indrika Ratwatt emphasized, explaining that the UN humanitarian response plan for Afghanistan for $ 2.4 billion was financed only by 28 percent. “Now we have an emergency on the existing crisis.”
