Afghanistan: Urgent action critical after devastating earthquake

# data[].attributes.body
On 8 October, a strong earthquake hit the western province of Herat in Afghanistan. It was among the world’s deadliest quakes this year with more than 2,400 people reported killed according to the Taliban de facto authorities and more than a 1000 killed and more than 1600 injured as per figures from United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) in Afghanistan on Sunday.

Afghanistan’s healthcare system, reliant almost entirely on foreign aid, has faced devastating cuts in the two years since the Taliban took over and much international assistance was halted. The relief efforts can also be affected by the ban on Afghan woman from working for the UN as well as other NGOs in Afghanistan.

Amnesty International is calling for support: "Amnesty International calls on the Taliban de facto authorities to attend to the immediate and essentials needs of the affected communities and ensure that rescue and relief efforts are carried out without discrimination and in a manner that is compliant with international human rights standards ."

Keith Haring (artist 1958-1990)

Popular American pop artist, his work is still sold in many stores and sites today. From phone cases sold by castify, to clothing sold by H&M his unique style and imagery has continued to capture audiences. His symbolic and distinct art style inspired by Egyptian hieroglyphics has many hidden meanings and messages about a range of topics.

It is interesting to see his work sold for profit by big organisations. Even though it makes his art more accessible to the masses, it may also undermine a lot of his message. I personally didn't know that he was an activist, and I have seen his art sold in lots of different stores. His continued popularity brings profit to the companies who use his art, however, they may also inspire people to research more about him and his beliefs.

OKJA: Film (2017, directed by Bong Joon-ho) South Korea

2 hour film about a young girl and fictional pet creature which is being hunted for food. Without being too on the nose, this film tackles many issues such as: meat consumption, capitalism, the meat industry, and the environmental / global impacts of these things on poverty and resource availability. It highlights flaws in the way things our society and food production is currently structured, by reflecting our own world in this fictional time. It creates a space for audiences to question things which are widely accepted as the traditional, historical, and social norm, and has a look at the very real possible future if we continue as we are.
