According to the report, a massive rescue operation was underway in Afghanistan on Monday (September 1), after a strong earthquake and multiple aftershocks collapsed homes onto sleeping families in a remote, mountainous region, killing more than 800 people, according to the Taliban authorities. The 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck just before midnight, rattling buildings from Kabul to neighbouring Pakistan's capital, Islamabad. More than 1.2 million people likely felt strong or very strong shaking, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS), which recorded at least five aftershocks throughout the night. Casualties and destruction swept across at least five provinces.

That was a very scary earthquake; many died, and hundreds were trapped. May God bless those trapped and let them live.May those perished rest in peace.

That's very sad!

800 people are too much who died in the earthquake and lots of people might have injured.

It is indeed so sad and scary, and there might be more victims who are trapped. Hoping they are still alive. May God bless those who are trapped to come out alive.
