Eastern Afghanistan has been devastated by a series of earthquakes that killed at least 1,457 people and injured thousands. Entire villages in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces have been flattened, leaving families digging graves by hand and clinging to what little they have left.

Roads blocked by landslides and aftershocks have slowed rescue efforts, while aid groups warn of a looming crisis. The Red Crescent estimates more than 84,000 people are affected, but food and medical supplies are running dangerously low, Reuters reported.

With international funding limited and the country’s isolation under Taliban rule, survivors face hunger, disease, and worsening hardship unless urgent help arrives.
