週五援助緩慢送進阿富汗偏遠地區在地震中受創的村莊，但在這場阿富汗數十年來死傷最嚴重的地震發生後3天，數千人仍然缺少糧食、避難處和飲水。

Wednesday’s 5.9-magnitude quake struck hardest in the rugged east along the border with Pakistan, as people slept, killing more than 1,000 and leaving thousands more homeless.

The area was still being roiled by aftershocks that were sending frightened locals scurrying from whatever shelter they had sought in badly damaged dwellings.
