The earthquake victims praise this aid from the Palestinian people and ulema, stating that although they are under severe Israeli bombings and attacks, they have not forgotten them and have sent aid to the Kunar earthquake victims. An affected resident of Kunar from the recent earthquake, Amir Jan, said: "Their children die from hunger and cold, they have no clothes on their bodies, 90 percent of their houses are destroyed; yet even in this state, they help us, we thank them greatly and appreciate it."
Another earthquake victim, Jamdar Khan, said: "They are being bombed, their children become martyrs, their mosques become martyrs, their houses are destroyed, and in this state, they shared their half-dead with us and sent aid to us."
About two and a half months ago, deadly earthquakes struck many parts of Kunar, as a result of which 2,205 people, including women and children, were martyred, and 3,640 others were injured. Due to this earthquake, nearly 7,000 residential houses, 500 hectares of agricultural land were destroyed, and hundreds of livestock died.
