Hope is fading on Wednesday, the third day of rescue operations, to find survivors after the earthquake that struck Afghanistan, killing more than 1,400 people, while survivors live in difficult conditions.

After a 6.0 magnitude earthquake hit eastern Afghanistan late Sunday into Monday, causing over 1,400 deaths and 3,100 injuries, a second earthquake of magnitude 5.2 struck on Tuesday evening in provinces bordering Pakistan, causing renewed panic among thousands of families.

A total of 1,411 deaths and 3,124 injuries were recorded from the deadliest earthquake in the country’s history, almost all in Kunar province, with losses also reported in Laghman and Nangarhar provinces.

In the Nurgal area of Kunar, some residents remain trapped under rubble and are difficult to reach for rescue, according to senior local official Ejaz Haq, speaking to AFP.

Access to some villages and towns is hindered due to landslides.

The organization Save the Children reported that members of one of its teams walked 20 kilometers carrying medical equipment on their backs to reach a village isolated by landslides.

Over two days, the Ministry of Defense organized 155 helicopter flights to evacuate about two thousand injured people and their relatives to hospitals in the region.

In the village of Mazar Dara in Kunar, a small clinic was set up to provide emergency care to the injured, but no tents were erected to shelter survivors, according to a correspondent from AFP.
