Afghanistan: Scenes of devastation in Islam Qala dry port after blaze

Subscribe to our channel! There were scenes of devastation at the dry port of Islam Qala, on Sunday, after several hundred tankers were destroyed in a fire on the previous day, at one of Afghanistan's most important border crossings with Iran, causing millions of dollars in losses according to local officials. “The government is responsible for this tragedy and this must be compensated by the government,“ said Basir Arian, a truck owner, adding that “1,500 cars were destroyed in the fire.“ In 2018, Kabul received an exemption from Washington allowing Afghanistan to import Iranian gasoline and gas despite lasting US sanctions on Tehran. #Afghanistan #IslamQala #Fire Video ID: 20210214-052 Video on Demand: Contact: cd@ Twitter: Facebook:
