The terrible earthquake in the country a few days ago transformed hundreds of buildings into a pile of debris. The tremors of this earthquake were so intense and dangerous, due to which at least 2,200 people have died so far.
Men ban on touching women in Afghanistan

Now, apart from the debris spread after the devastation caused by the earthquake in many parts of the country, the Taliban’s sexual rules are affecting relief and rescue operations.

According to a New York Times report, Bibi Ayesha said that she gathered us in a corner and then forgot us about us. The earthquake in Bibi Ayesha’s village Inlukak in Kunar province shook the hilly areas of eastern Afghanistan on Sunday (August 31, 2025). The first relief and rescue personnel reached the area after about 36 hours of the devastation caused by the earthquake.
According to the report, no one helped women, nor did they ask what they want nor did anyone move towards them. While the emergency teams were taking out the injured men and children immediately, many other women and girls, including 19 -year -old Ayesha, were pushed to shore, some of which were covered in blood.
