RASC News Agency: Renowned Dutch researcher Frank Hogerbits has recently issued a warning regarding the possibility of a more potent aftershock following a series of earthquakes in western Afghanistan. Taking to social media on October 15, Hogerbits shared his prediction, highlighting that the Middle East, particularly Afghanistan, Turkey, and Romania, may endure stronger aftershocks as a result.
It should be noted that this is not the first instance of Hogerbits accurately foretelling an earthquake. Last year, he successfully predicted the earthquake in southern Turkey, as well as in northern and western Syria, three days before it occurred. The recent earthquake and subsequent aftershocks have inflicted significant losses and widespread devastation upon the people of Herat.
According to a recent report released by Doctors Without Borders, the earthquake that struck Herat province last week has resulted in a staggering loss of over 2,445 lives, with thousands more sustaining injuries. Moreover, subsequent aftershocks have claimed the lives of two individuals and left over a hundred others injured in various parts of Herat province since Sunday, October 15.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that on the same day, a relatively potent earthquake rattled Kunduz province in the northern region of the country. Unfortunately, there is currently no available information regarding the casualties caused by this particular earthquake.
Given the earthquake’s devastating impact in Herat province, the demand for urgent humanitarian assistance has significantly escalated in the affected area. Consequently, several countries around the world have already pledged their support by providing vital aid, including monetary contributions, food supplies, medical provisions, and tents to assist the victims during this difficult time.
