Many Children Killed In Afghanistan Earthquake

Doctors in Afghanistan have said that many children may have been killed in Wednesday’s earthquake. No fewer than one thousand people died in the disaster, and heavy rain, threadbare resources and rugged terrain are hampering rescue workers. Unknown numbers were buried in the rubble of ruined, often mud-built homes by the magnitude 6.1 earthquake. However, one woman in hospital in Paktika province said she had lost 19 family members. By Wednesday night Taliban officials said search and rescue operations had finished in most places, although in remoter areas some continued still. The Taliban authorities have called for more international aid.
