Emergency rescue operations continued in Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan after the deadly earthquake that struck mountainous regions earlier in the week. Rescue teams searched damaged villages for survivors while humanitarian agencies delivered food, clean water, medicines, and temporary shelters to affected families.
Several remote areas remained difficult to access due to landslides and damaged roads. Hospitals in affected regions treated injured victims suffering from fractures, trauma, and exposure-related illnesses.
Authorities warned residents to remain cautious as aftershocks continued to be reported in some regions. International relief organizations called for urgent humanitarian assistance to support long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts.
The disaster highlighted ongoing challenges faced by vulnerable communities living in earthquake-prone areas with limited infrastructure.
