Buried twice: women and earthquake

According to Reuters, the estimated death toll of the earthquake in southeastern Afghanistan has exceeded 1,400, and more than 3,100 injuries. It is heartbreaking to see this much pain in an already afflicted country, stretched resources, on top of a political crisis that has been ravaging since the Taliban takeover. But the saddest part of this earthquake is that women, girls, and children are the immediate victims. While earthquakes don't discriminate between their victims, society does. 

I observed dozens of videos and photos taken by people on the scene or journalists who had visited the disaster-stricken area. In all photographs, men are rushing to recover bodies of men from under rubble, from trapped alcoves, or men who are injured, and then they are rushed to the helicopter and vehicles, but women are nowhere to be seen in the photos. Perhaps, they are not photographed due to the Pashtun strict cultural tradition towards women, or perhaps, they are being helped but not photographed. I don't know, but I have a hunch from seeing the photos and videos that women are the immediate victims of this kind of catastrophe because they are inside the house who take care of children, while men are mostly outside due to the gendered division of labor. 

At the end, I wonder, what happens to women who are under rubble? I feel strict Pashtun cultural norms hurt their women even in times of crisis.
