BRUSSELS: The European Union said on Tuesday it was sending 130 tons of emergency supplies and unlocking one million euros to help victims of the deadly earthquake that hit Afghanistan. More than 1,400 people are known to have been killed and thousands injured in the 6.0-magnitude earthquake, which hit remote areas in mountainous provinces near the border with Pakistan at around midnight on Sunday, followed by at least five aftershocks. The United Nations has warned that the quake could impact “hundreds of thousands” and warned of an “exponential” rise in casualties.

There are fears the death toll will rise significantly as the area is remote and mountainous, making rescue operations difficult.
