Rescue Efforts Were Hampered By Difficult Circumstances
Rescue efforts were hampered by difficult circumstances, such as heavy rains, landslides, and the fact that many villages were tucked away in difficult-to-reach hillside areas. An undetermined number of people were still trapped under rubble and in outlying areas, according to health and aid workers.
“There are still many persons buried beneath the ground. A nurse at a hospital in the severely affected Paktika region reported that rescue crews had arrived and were attempting to remove the dead and injured with the assistance of locals.
Inadequately built homes and landslides made the impoverished hillside areas hit by the earthquake particularly vulnerable, according to disaster experts and relief workers.

Gul Faraz, together with his wife and kids, were receiving medical attention for their injuries at a hospital in Paktika when he remarked, “We were all asleep at home… then the room crashed over us.” He claimed that a few family members had died.

According to Ayubi, the majority of the reported fatalities occurred in the eastern province of Paktika, where 255 people died and more than 200 were hurt. There were 25 fatalities and 90 hospitalizations in the province of Khost.
