Afghanistan Earthquake: Hundreds Dead Due To Poor Building Practices

A strong earthquake hit Afghanistan, killing many people.

The earthquake was powerful, but the buildings weren't strong enough.

Most people died because their homes fell on them.

The houses were made of materials like mud and stone, which aren't good at resisting earthquakes.

Another earthquake happened soon after, making the situation worse.

Experts say better building methods, like using stronger materials and designs, could save lives in the future.

Other countries have shown that it's possible to build safer homes, even without spending a lot of money.
