At least 100 dead after powerful earthquakes strike western Afghanistan: UN
« on: October 07, 2023, 10:17:38 pm »
t least 100 people are dead and at least 500 injured after powerful earthquakes struck western Afghanistan on Saturday, the United Nations said.

The United States Geological Survey reported two 6.3 magnitude earthquakes, as well as several strong aftershocks, near the city of Herat. One of the aftershocks had a 5.9 magnitude.

The initial earthquake struck 40 km west of the city of Herat around 11 a.m. local time, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Afghanistan. It was felt in neighboring Badghis and Farah provinces.

"Initial assessments indicate that as many as 100 people have been killed across eight villages in Zindajan Province, Herat Province ... with a further 500 people injured," the agency said in an update, noting that "unconfirmed reports suggest this figure may be closer to 320 people."

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Let the Taliban handle it.  They are good humanitarians.

I don't think so yet.  If a northern front is created by Hezbollah then it certainly will get worse, with attendant damage to the economy.  Oil could get insanely high, and we are stuck for production to catch up, thanks to Democrats.  In the 1973 Yom Kippur war,  gas at the pump went from $.25 up to $.50 (and higher) practically overnight.

I'm not sure, but it's hard to shed a tear for them today.

Sadly, I doubt that many of the hundreds of dead are high-level Talibanders.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Hours after the Taliban asks Arab nations for permission to attack Israel an earthquake in Afghanistan kills more than 1,000.
Trust and believe the Jewish people are God’s chosen people.
