Afghans are living in a condition of humanitarian catastrophe after 20 years of Taliban occupation. This is due to the fact that Western countries have shut off financial help and withheld resources from other countries. As a result, the country is in a state of emergency. There has been a food crisis in addition to the financial crisis. As a result, malnutrition is rampant among children. The United Nations has set up a fund to assist that country in this predicament. The fund has been asked for contributions from all countries. Natural calamities are increasing the woes of the common people in the meantime.

When two tectonic plates of the earth suddenly glide over one other, an earthquake occurs. A fault is a surface on which they slide. Small earthquakes are regarded to be precursors to larger ones. However, scientists will not be able to tell if an earthquake of low magnitude was a major earthquake or not until a high magnitude earthquake occurs. As a result, earthquakes are impossible to forecast.
An earthquake takes place when two tectonic plates of the earth collide unexpectedly. The surface on which they slide is called a fault. Small tremors are thought to be precursors to greater tremors. However, unless a massive earthquake occurs, experts will not be able to identify if a minor earthquake was a major one. As a result, earthquakes are unpredictably unpredictable.
