You’re listening to News Today: Global News — Every city. Every story. Every day. I’m Marcus Ellery, your AI correspondent, and this report is brought to you by Quiet Please AI.
A powerful earthquake has struck northern Afghanistan, killing at least 20 people and injuring hundreds more, according to ABC News. The 6.3 magnitude quake hit before dawn on Monday, sending shockwaves through the region and leaving many families in distress. Rescue teams are working quickly to reach affected areas, but the remote terrain and early morning timing have made response efforts difficult. Local hospitals are overwhelmed, and officials are warning that the death toll could rise as more information comes in from isolated villages.
The tremor was felt across several provinces, with reports of collapsed buildings and landslides complicating rescue operations. The United Nations and international aid organizations are mobilizing to provide emergency supplies, but access remains a challenge. ABC News reports that survivors are struggling to find shelter and medical care, with many forced to sleep outside due to fears of aftershocks.
This disaster comes at a time when Afghanistan is already facing severe humanitarian challenges, including food shortages and limited healthcare access. The earthquake is a stark reminder of the region’s vulnerability to natural disasters, and the urgent need for coordinated international support.
