i the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference. ah who . ready digging through the rubble, survivors of wednesday's devastating quake in afghanistan appeal for emergency aid . ah, i'm sam is a dan. this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up, germany moves closer to a gas rationing warning of a crisis after russia slashes supplies anger. inequity, thousands of indigenous focuses march on the capital, but the government refuses to bank out me and mars military rulers moved supposedly

the wrong suit. chief from house arrest solitary confinement. ah, we begin in afghanistan, where officials are appealing for more international help. arms are the worst earthquake in 20 years. at least 1500 people have been killed and many more are injured in a remote region in the southeast. the magnitude $5.00 tremor struck early on wednesday in political province, it's feared hundreds is still trapped in the rubble. rescuers struggling to reach the disaster zone was our binge of 8 reports. ah, even at night the search for the missing continued in eastern afghanistan. it's a race against time before the rescue operation turns into recovery of the dead. oh, using beer hand and shovels to free those. buried under the rubble in the remote

villages of hosts and buck beka provinces were in bed when hundreds of homes and buildings were destroyed. by the powerful earthquake ma nozzle de la was for the spirit i was sleeping and i felt a strong tremor. the roof fell on us. i hardly got out of the house and when i looked back, i saw my wife and daughter under the rubble in the next room, my nephew, his wife, and his daughter, and they died. i lost everything in the blink of an eye. ah, as the scale of the devastation becomes clearer, one is nuns currently does a realizing the challenges in providing relief and shelter for the displaced lords were already in disrepair. and now they are blocked or destroyed by ensuing landslides. after the quake. afghanistan with its various agencies and ministry, is launched a joint operation to assist the injured and dispatched a specialized themes by helicopter to provide medical assistance and emergency meeting was held by the prime minister. and it was decided to provide urgent

financial aid for compensation. the prime minister appealed to foreign agencies and organizations to assist the gunny people in these difficult circumstances of. hi, nathan is already facing a humanitarian disaster. most international aid, dried up and foreign and stuff pulled out. when the taliban took over last year, the government, which called itself these la cameras, it accuses wold powers of callous behavior for freezing assets and stopping aid for millions of afghans. and we do not have our teams do not see it. you've been to take people under the from, under the rubble of these has to live mostly on the efforts of the defacto for it is at least $15000000.00 will be required immediately international and regional head will be crucial as it will likely take months and years to recover from the devastation. avalon, who feel abandoned and let down by the international community say,

all they can do is pray for both the dead and those who survived. come on the job it out there. ali latifah has more from the east and province of pox here. earlier today we saw world food program trucks passing by. we know that the international rescue committee has started deploying more mobile medical units, but the assistance is still slow to come. we're currently at the army corps, and here on the tarmac is where helicopters will land and transport, the injured 2 ambulances that will then take them to the regional hospital here. but once they get to the regional hospital here, it's another issue in the hospital doesn't have proper emergency equipment and it may not be able to treat head to injuries. and so in that case, they will have to go by land to the city of kabul, which is another 4 or 5 hours away. so again, it shows sort of in this disaster setting, the kinds of shortcomings with which government is currently operating 6,

dreamily urgent. you know, we were talking to a pilot earlier who was piloting one of the aircraft. and he was saying that when he lands and pepsi call, you know, hundreds of people just warm towards the helicopter, trying to get their think and injured on board. trying to get attention trying to get out and get to a better hospital. as much as much as possible. and he was saying that as many as the people who come and see how to get out into the city, the city of guys is there just as many still trapped under the rubble. and obviously this distance was hindered yesterday by the inclement weather and then that also impact, you know, the condition of the people that are being treated. a lot of people may have died just by being stuck under the rubble. other, you know, are facing serious medical conditions because of how long it's taking them to get to a proper hospital. whether that being these or if they have to be transported. so they need helicopters for sure that that's one major issue with helicopters. come and go once every hour or so, but they can only take so many people with them out of time. so the more they are

there are because the roads are so difficult to get to. and because yesterday, you know, there was rain and hail that there would be flooding and land size and things like that. they really need air support. at the moment. germany is stepping off, his gas emergency plan saying it's facing a supplying crisis. and its economy minister says it can't rule out gas rationing because of dwindling deliveries from russia. the european union says it will temporarily revert to using coal to deal with reduced flows. but the, you insist the change will not d rail. it's longer term climate goals. the measure will be phased out as soon as possible. russia has weaponized energy, and we have seen further gas disruptions announced in recent days. are all this is part of russia strategy to undermine our unity. in total, 12 am estates and our affected by russian unilateral supply cuts,

10 member states give issued an early warning under the gas security of supply regulation. so the risk of a full gas disruption is now more real than ever before. that is why the adoption of the gas storage regulation together with other preparedness measures is so important at this moment from dominant came, joins us live from berlin. so 1st of all, what exactly does phase 2 moving to phase 2 of the emergency plan mean, practically speaking for consumers, it depends which consumers you choose to look at. first, for those residential home owners, people living in rented accommodation. it does not mean that their gas supply is threatened right now. that is the 1st thing to make clear. for those consumers in industry,

it is more serious because it is the government here saying that we believe that a time is coming where we will have to potentially russian gas supply. and bear in mind that clearly in a european summer, when the weather is warm, residentially gas users are not going to be heating their houses much, but the industrial sector is going to be using and is using a large amount of gas the entire year round. notwithstanding what you're, what time of the year it is. and so it is, those uses who are concerned by this. but you get a sense of perspective about what steps this is. the government is taken from 2 different voices in the energy sector. the one from e on a large company using a great deal of energy and supplying energy here who says this doesn't change the fundamental status quo for the time being. and you hear the same sort of thing from the federation that represents the chemical industry here, saying it is a logical step for the government to choose this particular status of the emergency

plan. given what's coming from russia. does that mean dominic, that officials think moving to stage 3 is just a matter of time. then it has to be says that the mood music as it were coming from ministers over the course of since the war began in ukraine. that is, that over the course of that time, there has seemed to be an air of inevitability. but it is certainly grown that air of inevitability has grown in the course of the last week or so. with the news that russia has started to deliver fewer 1000000000 cubic meters through its pipelines to western europe than it had been already. we know that the vice chancellor here, mister har, back of the green party, has said that he believes that russia is using gas as a weapon. and that he says,

winter will come and the warm season will, will go and then gas will be no more needed. and they're worried that they won't have enough gas, which is why they've been appealing to, to homeowners and others to, to rush in the amount of gas they use. clue, they're worried. all right, thanks so much dominic cane now. thousands of protesters of march through ecuador capital, on the 10th day of a nationwide strike, indigenous demonstrates as were joined by students and trade unionists. they want action from the government to stem rising, living cos at least 2 protesters were killed. in earlier protests, our latin america to tennessee, a newman reports from kito, o indigenous ecuador, and from the mountains to the coast, to the amazon, a congregating in the capitol quito. define a state of emergency that prohibits public gatherings. yoga removal is from the oil
