Afghanistan was rocked by its deadliest earthquake in decades on Wednesday when a 5.9 magnitude quake struck the east of the country, killing more than 1,000 people and injuring scores more, according to a regional manager.
The humanitarian disaster comes at a difficult time for the Taliban-ruled country, which is currently plagued by hunger and economic crises.
