Hope fades for finding survivors after Afghan quake kills more than 1,400

Hope is fading of finding survivors in the rubble of homes devastated by a powerful earthquake in eastern Afghanistan over the weekend that killed more than 1,400 people, as emergency services struggle to reach remote villages. In Kunar’s Nurgal district, victims remained trapped under destroyed structures and were difficult to rescue, local official Ijaz Ulhaq Yaad told the AFP news agency on Wednesday. “There are some villages which have still not received aid,” he said.
