Victims of the avalanches in Panjshir province have demanded more support from the Afghan government, which they claim was too slow to respond to the emergency.

TOLOnews reporter Karim Amini visited the Abdullah Khail village of Panjshir province this week. With snow still falling, many in the Panjshir Valley fear more avalanches, and thus more emergency needs, could be on the horizon.

With just one main road in and out of the Panjshir valley, there are still many routes blocked by snow. In Paryan district, 20 KM of road has been cleaned, yet snow remains covered over much of the rest.

Yet the inconveniences of poor traveling conditions are dwarfed in the minds of local residents when compared to the inadequate medical and disaster relief assistance the Afghan government has provided them. Some residents of Abdullah Khail village told TOLONews that wounded victims were stuck in their homes after the avalanche for up to four days in some cases before they were evacuated to receive medical care.

"The government has only given us some oil and rice so far," said one local who lost four family members in the recent avalanches.

President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah visited Panjshir after the avalanche and spoke of providing support. But local residents impacted by the avalanches feel that Kabul has largely abandoned them.

Even still, it is the potential for another wave of avalanches that weighs most on the minds of those in the village of Abdullah Khail. "We are afraid that the snowfall might result in another avalanche," one resident named Ahmed told TOLOnews.

On Saturday, reportedly 43 avalanches took place in the Aryan district of Panjshir province, leaving 10 dead and three wounded. All told, the recent avalanches in Panjshir province have resulted in 196 dead and close to 100 wounded.
