Men dug through rubble with their bare hands and shovels in western Afghanistan on Sunday after a magnitude 6.3 earthquake hit a densely populated area near Herat.
Sunday in desperate attempts to pull victims from the wreckage left by powerful earthquakes that killed at least 2,000 people.
A Taliban government spokesman on Sunday provided the toll that, if confirmed, would make it one of the deadliest earthquakes to strike the country in two decades. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake’s epicenter was about 40 kilometers northwest of Herat. It was followed by three very strong aftershocks, measuring magnitude 6.3, 5.9 and 5.5, as well as lesser shocks.
The United Nations migration agency deployed four ambulances with doctors and psychosocial support counselors to the regional hospital. At least three mobile health teams were on their way to the Zenda Jan district, which is one of the worst-hit areas. The first quake was the strongest, causing the most damage and casualties, photographer Haqjoo said, quoting survivors.
