RASC News Agency: following the devastating earthquakes in Herat, Irshad Malik, the director of the Save the Children Organization in Afghanistan, has unequivocally declared that the consecutive seismic events have inflicted unparalleled havoc upon the innocent children of this province. The organization’s profound concern lies in the profound impact these earthquakes have had on the psychological well-being of these children, which poses a formidable challenge to their future development. Undeterred, the organization remains resolute in its unwavering commitment to providing comprehensive assistance, particularly in addressing the pressing mental health needs of these vulnerable young hearts.
It is worth noting that Save the Children, in partnership with esteemed local and international institutions, is at the forefront of tirelessly providing compassionate care and unwavering support to the wounded children in the province of Herat. This collaborative effort serves as a beacon of hope for those in desperate need.
Furthermore, the reports underscore the grave reality: the earthquakes in Herat have inflicted severe injuries upon the women and children, who constitute the majority of the victims. The resilient inhabitants of Herat, particularly the vulnerable women and children, find themselves on the precipice of desperation, yearning for extensive aid and solidarity from the global community. Despite the recent catastrophic earthquakes that have ravaged the western region of Afghanistan, specifically Herat province, causing numerous fatalities and countless injuries, the dire situation remains largely unaddressed.
It is incumbent upon us to acknowledge that a significant number of villages, notably those situated in the Zinda Jan and Injil districts of Herat province, have suffered irreparable damage, with residential properties reduced to rubble as a grim testament to the power of these unforgiving seismic forces. Furthermore, reliable sources attest that crucial infrastructural facilities, including educational institutions and healthcare centers, have also fallen victim to the catastrophic tremors, exacerbating the plight of an already vulnerable population.
Tragically, even the cherished historical monuments, a testament to the rich heritage of this ancient land, have not escaped unscathed. These tangible emblems of the past have suffered grievous damage, reminding us of the immense losses incurred in the wake of these seismic upheavals.
