Homeless and fearful, Afghan quake survivors sleep in the open
DARA-I-NUR, Afghanistan: Families huddled hungry and homeless days after a deadly earthquake hit eastern Afghanistan, not daring to set foot in the few remaining buildings for fear an aftershock could bring them down. The initial powerful 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck remote regions along the border with Pakistan, killing more than 1,400 people, with at least six strong aftershocks and countless smaller tremors. Some farming villages tucked among the green mountainsides were flattened, with people still under the rubble days later.
