Understanding the Afghanistan Earthquake – Hashkafa

 

At least 800 people have been killed and more than 1,300 others injured in Afghanistan after a 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck the country, Taliban officials confirmed Monday. The earthquake hit 17 miles from the eastern city of Jalalabad, near the border with Pakistan, at around midnight local time (3:30 p.m. ET Sunday), according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Because the earthquake struck a remote mountainous area, “it will take time to get the exact information about human losses and damage to the infrastructure,” said Sharafat Zaman, a spokesperson for the Afghan Public Health Ministry. “We have launched a massive rescue operation and mobilized hundreds of people to help people in the affected areas,” Zaman added.

Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid confirmed the death toll had risen to 800 people. Earlier, Afghan interior ministry spokesperson Mufti Abdul Matin Qani had reported 622 people confirmed dead and more than 1,300 injured in the eastern provinces of Nangarhar, which includes Jalalabad, and Kunar. The ministry reported that 1,000 injured people had been evacuated and admitted to hospitals, with Taliban security personnel carrying earthquake victims evacuated by military helicopter from the affected districts.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres mobilized a U.N. team in Afghanistan, with several organizations including the Children’s Fund, the World Health Organization, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and the International Organization for Migration providing emergency assistance to the devastated region.

HOW SHOULD WE VIEW IT?

Many people view earthquakes as the energy released from the random and meaningless movement of earth’s tectonic plates. They see it as layers of crust and brittle upper mantle moving over the asthenosphere randomly colliding with each other, pulling apart, and rubbing against each other. The elastic energy that was stored is simply released. Randomly. They see it as nature at work. Nothing more. True, there is a massive release of energy and movement called an earthquake. But, they say, it is devoid of any meaning.
