Afghanistan Quake Kills At Least 1,000 People, Deadliest In Decades

A 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck a remote area along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border early in the morning, causing widespread destruction. The lack of medical infrastructure and the Taliban's control have hindered relief efforts, with many humanitarian agencies having left the region. The quake resulted in nearly 1000 deaths and 1500 injuries, with landslides further complicating rescue operations. The Taliban government is using helicopters to deliver supplies and evacuate the injured, but the death toll is expected to rise.
