YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Another earthquake, the second within a week, has hit Afghanistan on Tuesday as the nation was already reeling from a devastating quake over the weekend. That quake killed at least 1400 people and injured thousands. Today's magnitude 5.2 tremor hit near Jalalabad, which was also the epicenter of Sunday's quake. Rescuers are struggling to reach the remote, mountainous area. Entire villages have been destroyed and it's feared the death toll could rise further, with many people feared trapped under the rubble. An update on the situation from Samira Sayed-Rahman from Save the Children Afghanistan.
