A senior Taliban delegation is visiting the earthquake-affected region in Herat province, Afghanistan to provide immediate relief assistance and ensure equitable distribution of aid. The magnitude 6.3 quake, one of the deadliest in two decades, killed at least 2,000 people and flattened entire villages. The global response to the quake has been slow, with many countries focused on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Only a few countries, including China and Pakistan, have offered support.
