5.2 Earthquake Strikes Afghanistan After Deadly Quake
Another earthquake hit Afghanistan, where a big earthquake happened recently.
This new earthquake was smaller, but still caused problems in the same area.
Sadly, the first earthquake killed many people and hurt many others.
Rescue workers and villagers are trying to find survivors and help those in need.
Aid organizations are also sending help, but they need more resources to deal with the crisis.
The country already faces humanitarian issues because of conflicts and other issues.
A 5.2 magnitude earthquake hit eastern Afghanistan, near the site of a recent 6.0 magnitude quake.
The new quake's epicentre was northeast of Jalalabad, Nangarhar province.
Over 1,400 people died and 3,124+ were injured in the initial 6.0 magnitude earthquake.
Many houses were destroyed, and some areas remain unreachable by road.
The EU is sending aid, but funding cuts threaten the response to the disaster.
