Starting on October 7th multiple earthquakes devastated the Herat region of Eastern Afghanistan within a week.The final number of dead is still unknown as many bodies are still covered with dust after whole villages of poorly constructed clay houses have been destroyed. The country is now facing an escalating humanitarian crisis, following on top of a collapsed economy and instability constantly deepening ever since the Taliban took over power in the country. Yet the topic is heavily underreported. In this episode of Fractured our citizen journalists Yaser Taheri and Zobair Ahadi echo the International Red Cross appeal: “Let’s not add ‘forgotten’ to the long list of tragedies that this resilient nation has already endured.”
