LIBERATION notes with alarm and growing concern the news of the earthquake in south-eastern Afghanistan and its devastating after-effects for the already beleaguered population there.
According to reports, the 5.9 magnitude earthquake hit at around 1.30am local time on Wednesday June 22 and badly shook four districts of Paktika province in the far south-east of Afghanistan, near to the city of Khost and the country’s frontier with Pakistan.
As the quake struck in the middle of the night, many people were buried under the rubble of their traditionally built dwellings which simply could not withstand its force.
