Over twenty villages in several districts of Herat province have been seriously damaged in three recent strong earthquakes on in the province on Wednesday.

In these earthquakes, one person was killed and over 150 people were injured.

The earthquakes completely devastated the village of Chawak in Herat's Injil district.

Fewer people have been hurt by these earthquakes because residents of the province fled their homes out of fear of the earthquakes, which started on Saturday.

"We have been outside since Sunday. Our houses were cracked in the earthquake. Most of our clothes are at home,” said Shir Ahmad, the victim.

“I was awake when I felt todays’ earthquake. I was confused. My daughters called me to get out and somehow, I got out,” said Naz Bibi, another victim of the earthquake.

The rescue teams have not come to this village and because of this, the residents are trying to get their property out from under the ruins.

Shah Sawar, a local resident, whose house was destroyed by the earthquake wants to get his carpet out of the rubbles.

“I have lost everything, but this one did not have causalities. Everything is under rubble,” he told a TOLOnews reporter.

"We had blankets, wheat, rice, and oil, all of them were buried under the rubble. Everything we had, we only took enough on the first day of the earthquake that helped us in these two days, and we thought we would return to our homes,” said Adam Khan, another resident of Herat who suffered due to the earthquake.

Three strong earthquakes shook part of western Afghanistan on Wednesday morning after an earlier quake killed more than 2,000 and flattened whole villages.

The latest 6.3-magnitude earthquake was about 28 kilometers (17 miles) outside Herat, the capital of Herat province, and 10 kilometers (6 miles) deep, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

With the continuation of earthquakes, the operation of evacuating the victims of last Saturday's earthquake continues in Zindehjan district of Herat province.
