practica province near the pakistani border are filling up with the injured many of them, recount stories of horror and terrible loss. mad mobile the press. when the roof came down on me, i thought i had been shot with my body was in pain. it took me awhile to get up, but i lost feeling in my body when i saw the rest of my family under the debris. a lot of people digging with their bare hands through the rubber just in the hopes of finding someone still alive or to recover their dead with now is, is and other buildings have been flattened by the powerful quake. it struck in the middle of the night when most people were at home sound asleep. the number of that an injured is expected to rise as news slowly trickles in from these remote parts of afghanistan. rescue efforts have been directed towards the area, but the need for support is huge. at least $50000000.00 will be required

immediately to respond more sexual needs. they're concerned about not just non food items and getting people into shelters and providing medical slot, but also preventing waterborne diseases. the taliban lead government has called for international support. but it might prove hard to get since the taliban seized power last year, some international agencies have left afghanistan and billions of euros in development. aid were held back. more than 60 percent of the population relies on aid to survive the earthquake and only worse in their dire, tremendous, terry and situation. and for more on this we go now to france, marty of freelance journalist in the afghan capital campbell, france. what's the situation now? one day after the earthquake i spoke to a taliban from bomb. all one of the areas the most hate, he said they're all people to dad and the injured have even burried from under the

rubble bob to the burials off to death is still ongoing. given the large number of casualties, the heavy rain unfortunately stopped while yesterday weather was really bad and impeded 8 air force. now there are clear blue skies above afghanistan. i'm so this makes it a bit easier, more ambulances and some helicopters, in addition to the ones that already were dispatched yesterday reached areas are. so the ada ford is ramping up. afghan ascent, as we know, is a country that is already on its knees. is the taliban lead government equipped to deal with such an emergency? not fully, as you rightly say already before it was the human humanitarian crisis, the taliban already did before. of that bonded 8 for all the international

community. most public services have since years already before to polygon to power. been funded by international aid. and this of course, and compound to situation now with, with many people that lost their homes and are in all the dire need of help. and the taliban are now calling for international aid or the aid agencies and the governments that start sending money, perhaps inclined to change their minds and help out this time. do you think any indication of that as 1st of all, it has to be remembered. it is not that most agencies left off to the taliban takeover. so right that to take over a load of programming of 8 agencies was really suspended. but this started already month ago. the u. n. has been clumping cash in twelf gone us on since to paul 78 maam, um some aid agencies have already before because of the looping famine and throughout

expanded their program. so it's not that aid organizations have to start from scratch. of course this adds to the to with needs that are there across of count hassan. i'm but it's not that it's that, that 8 organizations would be completely unprepared. i'm to polygon today, for example, state that, that top thought and you don't already sent plains with 8 to afghanistan and that pakistan dispatched a convoy with from 8 material over land. um, so this is adding to the ada fords that were anyway, already ongoing. ok, france, marty reporting force from a capital let's take a quick look now at some of the other stores making headlines around the world. protesters class with security forces in ecuador is capital quito, on the 10th consecutive day of protests,
