Survivors of a massive earthquake that struck Afghanistan's west on Oct. 7 say they're struggling to rebuild their lives, three months after the disaster
ZINDA JAN, Afghanistan -- A 6.3 magnitude quake on Oct. 7 killed and injured thousands of people in Afghanistan’s west. Three months on, survivors are struggling to rebuild their lives.
Some families are living in canvas-colored tents in Zinda Jan district, the quake’s epicenter in the province of Herat, where every home was flattened.
People endure the winter conditions with the help of donations and their Islamic faith, but they’re anxious about what lies ahead.
Habib Rahman, 43, was watching TV at his father-in-law’s home when the quake struck. The horror still rings in his ears. He can’t get it out of his head.
However many details he gave about that day would never be enough, he told The Associated Press.
