According to global times News Agency Europe,The earthquake in Afghanistan is a "perfect storm” in a country that is already suffering a "multiplicity of crises,” the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has said.In an interview with The Global times Europe media, Filippo Grandi said the situation in the country is "very tragic.We have very little information as of yet, but already, reports of hundreds of people killed and many more made homeless,” he said.That’s a country that is already suffering from a multiplicity of crises.He said Afghanistan is suffering from a "big drought”, while Iran has "sent back almost two million people” and Pakistan "threatens to do the same.It’s extremely difficult to mobilise resources because of the Taliban. So it’s a perfect storm,” he added.And this earthquake, likely to have been quite devastating, is going to just add to the misery.He appealed to "all those who can help to please do that.”
