Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed his profound shock over the loss of life in an earthquake that struck the eastern regions of the country, bordering Pakistan, two days ago on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, in a telephone conversation with the acting prime minister of Afghanistan on Thursday.
This information was made public by PM Shehbaz in a string of tweets.
Prime Minister told the Afghan acting prime minister that Pakistan stood by the people of Afghanistan in these times of crisis. “The injured Afghans are being provided treatment at Pakistani hospitals,” he said and offered his condolences to the families of those who were killed in the natural disaster.
In Afghanistan’s border regions, up to 1,000 people were killed and hundreds of homes were completely destroyed.
