Afghan cultural norms, enforced even in emergencies by the ruling Taliban, forbid physical contact between men and women who are not family members. In the village of Andarluckak, in Kunar Province, the emergency team hurriedly carried out wounded men and children, and treated their wounds, said Ms. Aysha, 19. But she and other women and adolescent girls, some of them bleeding, were pushed aside, she said.
“They gathered us in one corner and forgot about us,” she said. No one offered the women help, asked what they needed or even approached them.
Tahzeebullah Muhazeb, a male volunteer who traveled to Mazar Dara, also in Kunar Province, said that members of the all-male medical team there were hesitant to pull women out from under the rubble of collapsed buildings. Trapped and injured women were left under stones, waiting for women from other villages to reach the site and dig them out.
“It felt like women were invisible,” said Mr. Muhazeb, 33. He added, “The men and children were treated first, but the women were sitting apart, waiting for care.” If no male relative was present, he said, rescue workers dragged dead women out by their clothes, so as not to make skin contact.
More than 2,200 people died and 3,600 others were injured in the magnitude 6 quake that flattened countless hamlets and villages, according to figures released by Afghanistan’s government.

Women are nuts but I’m saving them before men...just part of being a decent human.
Because you want to have sex with the men you save.
Who gives a sh**?
Put a giant fence around Afghanistan and Pakistan. Let no one out. Anyone from those places who is out, should get sent back immediately.
Both countries are a massive net negative to global peace, prosperity and harmony.
They know that women don’t need men. Plus they do everything better than men, so, they probably could rescue themselves.
I’m surprised the NYT even admitted this happened.
Not my circus, not my monkeys. Let the NOW Gang complain about it.
More proof that Islam is not a religion. It’s an ideological cult and should never be given religious status, especially in the US and other western countries.
Let the NOW Gang complain about it.

Ha! What are the chances they will complain?
Misogyny is ok when brown people do it.
Some women can be beaten with sticks, raped, shot and killed --- while others are not to be touched, even if they're in serious distress.
Different situations, or different men, or different women?
They make it up as they go along.
My favorite is the new rule that came out of that relatively recent dustup over in the sandbox.
Homosexuality is still a sin and punishable by death but if you let a guy mount you from behind for the purpose of enlarging your bomb bay and promise not to like it then its OK.
Well said.
Agreed.
That’s right.
So am I.
You need glasses? I said I’d save the women not the men you idiot. Stop projecting and have another drink at the gay bar you’re at tonight.
They saved the goats first.
