Afghanistan and Pakistan earthquake killed 300

More than 300 people had been killed in both Afghanistan and Pakistan, a day after a powerful earthquake hit the both countries.

The National Disaster Management Authority in Pakistan said the death toll there had reached 228. In Afghanistan, officials said the 7.5-magnitude quake, centered in the Hindu Kush mountain range about 160 miles northeast of Kabul, the capital, had killed at least 76 people.

Afghan officials said the damage stretched across 14 provinces in the country, with hundreds of people injured and more than 4,000 homes destroyed.

“Our initial assessment shows that immediate need is not for food, but for tents, blankets and warm clothes because the weather is getting cold,” Afghanistan’s president, Ashraf Ghani, said.
