In Afghanistan, the earthquake that struck on the 17th killed more than 20 people, and local media reported that the world heritage Islamic tower could collapse.
According to the OCHA = United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, 26 people, including children, have died in the magnitude 5.3 earthquake that occurred in northwestern Afghanistan on the 17th.
According to OCHA and others, hundreds of houses built by stacking bricks were damaged or collapsed in the disaster area, and people were destroyed in the footage from the site. I was busy cleaning up the debris from my house.
Also, according to local media, the quake could destroy a 65-meter-high "minaret" at Islamic ruins in central Jam.
According to a media interview, a local official said, "Recently, floods have occurred in the surrounding area, but if it continues to snow and rain, it may collapse in the future."
This "Sento" was built around the 12th century and was first registered as a World Heritage Site in Afghanistan in 2002, but it has also been designated as a "Crisis Heritage" due to its urgent need for protection and management.
