Landslide has caused havoc in the Darfur region of western Sudan. More than 1,000 people died in this horrific accident. The accident occurred on 31 August in the Marra Mountains area, where it was receiving heavy rains for several days. Sudan Liberation Movement/Army confirmed the incident on Monday (2 September).

The organization said that in this horrific tragedy, the people of the entire village were killed and only one person survived. A large number of women and children are also included in the dead. The organization has appealed to the United Nations (UN) and International Relief Agencies to immediately send humanitarian aid and help to remove bodies. He says that relief and rescue operations are getting very difficult because the village is completely buried under the debris.

People struggling with war and hunger in Sudan

The people of Sudan are already facing the war of civil war. For the last two years, there is a fight between Sudani Army and Paramilitary Rapid Support Force (RSF). Many people have taken shelter in the Marra mountain area after saving their lives from this fight, but there is also a shortage of food and medicines here. Due to civil war, more than half of the country’s population is in danger of hunger. Now the new tragedy of landslides has increased their difficulties.

Earthquake in Afghanistan: Eastern Afghanistan caused a 6.0 magnitude earthquake, killing at least 812 people and injuring 2,817. Relief work is going on fast. This information has been given by government spokesperson Jabihullah Mujahid. According to the Taliban official, it is the deadliest earthquake of the last decade. The affected areas require immediate hospitals, shelters, food and clean water.

The intensity of the earthquake in Afghanistan measured 6.0 on the Richter scale. According to the US Geological Survey, the earthquake center was 27 km away and at a depth of eight kilometers. The country is located on many seismic fault lines, causing more danger of earthquake and landslides to it.

India came forward to help

Foreign Minister of India Dr. S. Jaishankar today spoke to Afghan Foreign Minister Maulvi Aamir Khan Muttki and expressed his condolences on the loss of life in Afghanistan. Dr. Jaishankar told on social media that India has sent tents for a thousand families in Kabul today. He said that the Indian mission has brought 15 tonnes of relief material from Kabul to Kunar district. The minister also assured that more relief materials will be sent from India from tomorrow. Dr. Jaishankar prayed for the early recovery of the injured people and said that India stands with Afghanistan in this difficult time.

Relief work and challenges
Soon after the earthquake, the rescue team is engaged in relief work. Relief work is being interrupted due to closure and landslides in remote mountainous areas. The health centers and hospitals of the affected areas are under heavy pressure. Many people are not able to stay in their homes due to security concern and are forced to sleep in the open.

Joy Singhal of the International Red Cross and Red Crisant Society told Al Jazira that her teams immediately started relief work in the affected communities. However, many remote hills and low -populated areas have not yet been helped. The number of tents is also not enough and it is becoming difficult to reach the landslide area. Afghanistan has been sensitive to earthquakes in eastern and western parts. Last year, more than 1,000 people died in the earthquake in the western part. On 7 October 2023, there was a 6.3 magnitude earthquake in the country.
