More than 2,400 people were killed in earthquakes in Afghanistan, the Taliban administration said on Sunday, in the deadliest tremors to rock the quake-prone mountainous country in years. They were among the world's deadliest quakes this year, after tremors in Turkey and Syria killed an estimated 50,000 in February. Afghan residents sit at a damaged house after earthquake in Sarbuland village of Zendeh Jan, district of Herat province, on October 7, 2023. Diplomats and aid officials say concerns over Taliban restrictions on women and competing global humanitarian crises are causing donors to pull back on financial support. The Islamist government has ordered most Afghan female aid staff not to work, although with exemptions in health and education.

Rescue boats search the Machchu river where the pedestrian bridge collapsed on Sunday. Friends have lost friends and parents have lost children. By the time rescuers pulled Naseema to safety, the river had consumed every other family member who had been on the bridge that evening. He said that like many others, his daughter and son were excited to visit the bridge and watch the sunset. Crestfallen and anxious, he rushed to a nearby hospital where he saw his two children lying dead on stretchers.
