The horrible earthquakes in the past days shattered many
villages in Balochistan. The first quake
jolt of 7.8 magnitudes according to
the American Geological survey on 24th September destroyed
more than
40,000 houses where as the death toll rised to 375 as number of injured went up
to 825
as result of the main shock following several after shocks. Awaran and
Dandar have been destroyed 95%.The deadly disaster ended the existence of Dandar,
Awaran, Mashkay, Jahu and several other
villages. 37,000 families effected.
“22 kids at a maddrisa martyred while reciting the Holly
Quran. People didn’t even have shrouds for
them before burying and were buried
with their Eid dresses that were kept out of the maddrisa room
and were going
to be distributed”, grieved a survivor in Kuzdar. Sadly, most deads buried
without
shrouds.

The poor communication system is the biggest hindrance in
the way of relief operations. The roads
that were already dilapidated, after
the earthquake no roads remained. The innocent civilians suffering
from days,
either injured, stuck in the debris, starving, dehydrated or living under the
open sky waiting
for someone to help them overcome the horrible disaster they
went through. The people compelled to
eat the dates from the trees in Awaran
after starving from days.

Relief aids had begun in some of the areas but many
remote areas yet need attention. The injured
are turning to deaths because of
the lack of medical assistance. Survivors call for help!

The extreme necessitates of the victims are tents, food, drinking
water, and medical aid right away.
Instead of accusing others or media the
provincial government should be quick in the rescue and
relief operations. Social
welfare organizations, non-government organizations, youth groups and
institutions
should also take initiatives to support the victims in this hard period of
time.
