An earthquake occurred in northern Afghanistan on 30 May 1998, at 06:22 UTC in the Takhar Province with a moment magnitude of 6.5 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VII (Very strong). At the time, the Afghan Civil War was underway; the affected area was controlled by the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan (the "Northern Alliance").
Overview
This earthquake was the second large earthquake in the area in 1998 after another earthquake on February 4. Between 4,000–4,500 people died in Takhar and Badakhshan provinces. Nearly 7,000 families were affected and estimated 16,000 houses were destroyed or damaged. Approximately 45,000 people became homeless. More than 30 villages were destroyed and another 70 were severely damaged. Several thousand animals were killed and crops and infrastructure were destroyed.
Relief efforts
Several
problems appeared during the relief operation. The affected region was
remote and lacked any modern telecommunication. The local
culture[dubious – discuss] prohibited male physicians from examining or
speaking to women. There was no available accurate map of the
affected region. However this problem was solved as the pilots of the
first Tajikistan helicopters served with the Soviet Armed Forces in the
area during the Soviet–Afghan War and knew many of the villages. Relief
efforts were also delayed because of blocked roads, bad weather and
political turmoil in the region.
Relief effort by several
agencies in Afghanistan was administered from neighboring Pakistan, as
many organizations had learned from previous experience not to base too
many assets in Kabul or in any other city in Afghanistan. A sub-base for
the relief efforts was established in Rostaq in the Takhar Province
near the Afghanistan-Tajikistan border, which in spite of lacking
airfields, had open spaces for helicopter operations and a road link to
Tajikistan. A worldwide appeal for helicopters was made to assist in the
relief operations.
The United Nations (UN) and several
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) were involved in the relief
efforts of the affected area. A joint relief operation was mounted by
the UN, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the
International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)
and a number of national and international NGOs.
Isaac Albéniz (Camprodón, 29 de maio de 1860 - Cambo-les-Bains, 18 de maio de 1909) foi um compositor, pianista e dramaturgo espanhol.
Ainda que mais velho que os poetas de 1927 e pertencente a uma geração anterior de poetas, Jiménez uniu-se aos autores da dita vanguarda espanhola, sendo considerado um mestre de muitos deles, como Jorge Guillén.
Sua obra começa oficialmente em 1908 com influências de Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, do Simbolismo francês, do Decadentismo de Walter Pater e do Modernismo castelhano de Rubén Darío; sua obra mais popular desta fase, na Espanha, no entanto, é "Platero y yo", de 1914, um livro de poesia em prosa.
A partir de 1916, Jiménez passa por uma mudança na sua produção poética, sofrendo influência de poetas de língua inglesa, como William Blake, Emily Dickinson, Yeats e Shelley, se unindo a um grupo de pensadores e artistas espanhóis que é classificado como "Novecentismo", uma geração pré-vanguardista. Desta fase, o livro mais importante e inovador é "Diario de un poeta recién-casado", de 1916, aquele que na sua obra o aproximaria da vanguarda de língua espanhola. A partir de 1919, com "Piedra y cielo" o poeta passa a explorar o tema da criação poética como atividade, o poema como uma obra de arte e o poeta como um deus-criador de um universo novo, ideias centrais do criacionismo de Vicente Huidobro.
A partir de 1937, o poeta entra em uma nova fase, com seu exílio, na qual se torna místico e passa a buscar por Deus, um período que culmina com a morte de sua esposa, depressão profunda do autor e sua morte, três anos após a morte da esposa.
Encontra-se sepultado no Cemitério de Jesus, Moguer, Andaluzia na Espanha.
