An earthquake in Afghanistan has led to an escalating death toll, crossing the 2200 mark. The quake, the epicenter of which is yet to be determined, has affected numerous communities, causing vast destruction and prompting immediate international responses. Efforts to rescue survivors and support the displaced population are currently underway, with agencies monitoring the situation round the clock, amidst the concerns of aftershocks.

Natural disasters, particularly earthquakes, are all too familiar to the Japanese public and they carry a great empathy for victims of such events. Japan, being a leader in earthquake preparedness and response, values its responsibility in providing aid and support during such crises. Society looks towards government responses and media highlights the importance of international collaboration in such situations.

Unlike in Japan, the US and EU aren't as prone to frequent seismic activity, but they too share a commitment to international disaster response. Their approach, however, leans more towards post-disaster management rather than prevention, relying on high-tech search and rescue operations, medical assistance, and substantial financial aid for rebuilding efforts.
