mundane visible and welcome i've got to stand was facing us a v, as humanitarian crisis before the weekend quakes. the health care system relies on foreign aid, but since the taliban to go that much of it has been halted and concerns of restrictions on women has seen donors pull back. now a series of of quake send off, the sharks have hit the western city of had around and its surroundings. taliban officials have been visiting the disasters and they say, well over 2000 people have lost their lives. volunteers have been pulling out victims both dead and alive. agencies have appealed for the international community to come forward, but only a handful of countries have publicly offered support. they include neighboring china and packing stuff. a dozen survived the quakes face an unbearable situation in dealing with the death and destruction. others who has been digging

for hours on end, searching for neighbors and loved ones, had been mostly left empty, handed him and was sitting in our house at the fat because were playing one was our neighbors, and one was mine. and suddenly smoke and debris hit me from above the light green or the head falling on drop a fuss. we were buried under the sun. my head was hurt. my daughter was crying. i wanted her brothers to dig out, but no one was listening to me. she died and my other daughter is lost in the matter. so we came here early in the noon, but i'm working with shovels until the middle of the night. we took out several dead bodies, 3 of them as well as the children look, well they've just come from school. one of them died in the street and 2 others in the wood guys like that's surprising, like that. well, there's ways to operations continue. the world health organizations emergency response team in afghanistan says casualties from the disaster or over the expected
6:33 pm
to rise. god expecting more of deterioration, not justin has, but the other aspects of that would definitely impact the health of the gods. limiting the services limited access for the served with health services and probably more, more, really the most time it be over the coming period if the funds and that is sources of not made available for you money to 80 and was that was never. and when would it be needed in the coming period for of the corresponded onto the tv using the capital capital. firstly, give us an idea of the extent of destruction from the people he's been speaking to we're talking about entire villages have been destroyed, and these are villages in more remote areas, paint, talk province, that we're experiencing a lot of insecurity in the final years of the former government that didn't get as
6:34 pm
much development and as much assistance because of that. and so you're talking about i least, 1300 homes destroyed many of those across 13 villages in a single district of a lot. um and then even in the city, you know, hey doctors, what are the most bustling, most active or most vibrant cities in the country. and people have been saying that for the last few days, at the centrally of the other, the people trying to get assistance or like trying to reach people in the district . you know that, that, that sort of market atmosphere that sort of social atmosphere does not exist in the city right now because people are still afraid of aftershocks and they're still dealing with the trauma and trying to figure out how to help their family, their friends, both in the city and also in the districts are quite killed over a 1000 last year and has kind of said they've been decades of conflict. as
6:35 pm
a result you point out houses are poorly built. we've seen the pictures of po rubble in a place that's prone to quakes. it sounds like a death trap. it is, but you also have to remember that you're talking about in the area of the country that doesn't necessarily have a lot of experience with our quakes hit off. there's not one of those places where, you know, when you, when you think of natural disasters and hate on, i would imagine you would think of flooding, drought, and things like that. you don't really think of earthquakes. what do you think of earthquakes? you think, you know, more towards the east of the country are more towards the north of the country. so i think that also had something to do with it. you know, a lot of the structures probably weren't built with earthquakes and mind um, even in the city. and also as i said, because of people are not used to it, the fear is even greater. you know, this is why you have people sleeping and tabs. this is why you have people not wanting to go back to their homes and still sleeping outside as much as they can,
6:36 pm
or trying to basically just not be indoors as much as possible because, you know, if you're talking about even a city like hobble that they can deal with is quite stuff like being from california, you know, you know what happens. but when you're talking about somewhere like a dog, have such a little experience with something like that alley. and how much can you put the blame on the taliban government because people are very wary of dealing directly with them of supporting them and the global response has so 5 insight. yeah. but just because you're not like a government doesn't mean you shouldn't be helping people who are suffering. right . uh and the issue is that a has been being cut back in, i'm honest, on not only sense, you know, dyslexic emory returned to power, which was a political decision. but over the last few months, we've seen that because of financially both who do you know, it's very simple to see the, the physical, the devastation. because there,
6:37 pm
there's video, there's photos, you know, people who will have to rebuild their entire lives. they will have to rebuild, they'll have their homes, they will have to, you know, figure out the healthcare and, you know, for those were severely injured. the long term impact of that health care and the costs and all of that. so, you know, $5000000.00 when you're talking about thousands of people affected. uh and, and you know, more than a 1000 homes destroyed, you know, entire villages level. it's really not that much money in the grand scheme of things. and there's also the fact that the $15000000.00 ask guns go to bed hungry every night according to the well food program, which as you mentioned, was forced to cost it's food aid to afghanistan. last month. again, it's a case of no donors. how do you convince the international community to do more? i mean, they will say that a it's, it's just
6:38 pm
a matter of finances, right? they will say that we don't have money. you know, the world on the whole is on this economic downturn, but of course, you know, they're finding money for ukraine, finding money for israel right now. um and i think the number one thing that you know, all of these donors that the tire will needs to remember is that just because you don't like a government, but you also have been to power to be quite honest. but just because you don't like a government does not mean that the people should be solved, right, because the people are not the government, the vehicle's not elect this government and people would not choose this government . the people are trying to live with whatever the international community doesn't like about this. government is a lot of the things that the people themselves don't like about it. and so not only are they having to live under no restrictions, but then they're also suffering financially. and economically and then you know, i mean natural disasters have been all over the world. there's no way to prevent them. i and so to know that, you know,
6:39 pm
your suffering is greater because the rest of the world doesn't like the government . but if played a role in bringing back to power, you know, it's quite unfair. it's a very tricky situation. i'll be thank you very much for being on the show today. and thanks for your time. thank you. and to be as read doesn't stop, the pakistan has ordered all on authorized. i've got asylum seekers to leave this month by talking about 1700000 people, a spike in a tax along the 2 countries shed. buddha has escalated tensions this year. is lemme bond claims afghanistan based on products, and that's fueling resentment in the capital pack is done is taken in hundreds of thousands of african refugees of a decades of war, especially since the telephone retentive power in afghanistan in 2021. that's gamble. and most cosette fee has lived in pakistan since she was a small child, is now $26.00. the future in the country is in jeopardy of to pakistan's bombshell
6:40 pm
announcement that it plans to be pulled more than one point. $7000000.00 african refugees need to be a lot of the cracked down and i've gone refugees is not even speeding women and children. there's no information except on social media. even of guns with registration cards are being arrested. the situation and i've gone this done, isn't safe. that's why of guns have come to buckets done out of necessity. especially women. if box, if any parties come to put me, i wouldn't want to go back to understand. i have no rights to education, they're not allowed to work. it would be better for us to focus on show some lien and see what the impact sustan's border regions look forward to is are cracking down on african refugees. so i'm gonna have had id cards confiscated, others have already been deported. police superintendent in

cash, if i buffy, says the operations and nothing out of the ordinary dozens to hundreds of sites like this. so somebody took me when we get dozens to hundreds of such cases on a weekly basis. it's not some special operation or an assignment, this and normal, routine practice and procedure. pakistani human rights groups say the recent treatment of f gans is in violation of international rules. national commission, finding one grad school body member at the, at the national commission for human rights states is very clearly we took a stand against such operations in the same province as well. the. we supported the refugees there and help them get back the businesses that were forcefully closed. don't put the lie o stay until the holidays. we would ask the state that these refugee should be treated according to the international conventions and agreements, signed by the pakistani government. and your, the minus sign to see how was the,
