Kazakhstan is set
to send rescue teams and humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, following the
instructions of the country’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The country will
provide those affected by the devastating earthquakes in western Afghanistan
with food products, tents, medicines, clothing, and other essential supplies.
Humanitarian aid will be soon delivered by air and railway transport. Kazakh
rescue teams, including canine units, will be deployed to Afghanistan to assist
in the rescue efforts. It is worth noting that on October 7th, a series of
earthquakes were recorded in the Herat province, the most powerful measuring
6.3 in magnitude. The earthquakes killed around 2,500 people, and destroyed or
damaged over 1,000 buildings.
