Afghanistan was struck by a new earthquake, the latest in a series of devastating seismic events, with the death toll rising to over 1,400. The Taliban, currently in control of the country, have renewed their desperate plea for international aid, as hospitals are overwhelmed with injured individuals. The earthquake, measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale, occurred in the same region as the previous earthquake at the end of August, which had already claimed over 1,400 lives. The Red Crescent has reported that over 1,100 people have died and more than 3,200 have been injured as a result of the earthquake. The United Nations has called for global support to provide urgent aid to Afghanistan in the wake of the disaster.
