Eastern Afghanistan has been rocked by a 6.1 magnitude earthquake that has so far killed 1,000 people and injured 1,500 others.
The region’s biggest earthquake in decades hit in the mountainous region of Afghanistan on Wednesday and was measured at 10km in depth.
Despite some assistance arriving in the area via helicopter, the Taliban have reached out for further aid with much of the damage in rural areas which are difficult to access by road.
The response to the massive earthquake has been complicated after the Taliban overthrew the government last year with the US pulling their troops after 20 years at war.
A number of international aid organisation have also pulled their people from the country.
