KABUL (Pajhwok): The World Health Organization (WHO) says at least 1,036 people have been killed, 2,949 more wounded in last week’s earthquake in Afghanistan.
WHO published this causality report based on information from Afghanistan’s Public Health Ministry. But the ministry itself has so far said nothing in this regard.
Earlier, the number of deaths was put at more than 1,000 the injuries at around 1,500.
On June 22, a 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck southeastern Afghanistan. Paktika and Khost provinces, especially remote areas like Giyan, Barmal, Zherok and Spera districts, were the worst-hit . . .
