As rescuers battle to assist, a second quake occurs<\/li>\n

The death toll from the first quake has now surpassed 1,400<\/a>, with thousands injured and entire villages destroyed in remote areas of Kunar and Nangarhar provinces.<\/p>\n
The second large and shallow quake<\/a> – at a depth of 10km and 34km east of Jalalabad – follows a series of tremors since the initial quake yesterday. Rescue efforts are severely hampered by landslides, blocked roads, and damaged infrastructure. Aid teams are struggling to reach survivors, and the UN warns that hundreds of thousands may be affected<\/a>.<\/p>\n
World Vision is mobilizing to support the interagency relief effort through national NGO partners already active in the affected provinces.<\/p>\n
“The second earthquake in as many days has deepened an already unimaginable tragedy,” said Thamindri De Silva, World Vision’s national director in Afghanistan. “Rescuers are forced to make impossible choices, going only where survival seems possible, because in many villages even helicopters cannot land. The scale of loss is utterly heart-breaking.”<\/p>\n
Access is difficult with many villages only reachable by helicopter or by a three-to-four hour walk.<\/p>\n
“The children are the ones who suffer most,” Thamindri said. “The trauma is profound – children may experience anxiety, nightmares, and behavioural changes, while adults face depression, grief, and chronic stress. Such psychological effects can last for years, making urgent mental health support essential.”<\/p>\n
