Following Afghanistan’s tragic earthquake, a photo of a three-year-old child standing in front of a wrecked home went viral on social media last week.
Sayed Ziarmal Hashemi, an Afghan journalist, tweeted the image on Twitter, where it garnered poignant comments and donations from numerous users.
This little child is probably the only remaining alive member of her family. Locals say they couldn’t find any alive member of her family. She looks like a 3 years old baby.#Afghanistan #AfghanistanEarthquake pic.twitter.com/6mJdiuvOCS

In addition, Hashemi organised a fundraiser to aid those affected by the 5.9-magnitude earthquake that claimed more than a thousand lives.
The quake’s impact was so great that Pakistan, 20 miles away, could feel it.
The image has received 459,000 likes and more than 82,000 retweets.
The Taliban thanked Iran, Pakistan, and India for providing assistance.
