阿富汗官员22日表示,境内东部的偏远边境地区在一夜之间遭规模6.1强震侵袭,至少有1000人死亡、数百人受伤,随着救难人员在倒塌民房中拼命挖掘,预计伤亡人数将持续增加。

美国地质调查所(USGS)指出,这起强震发生于巴基斯坦边界附近,震央在距离阿富汗东南部城市柯斯特(Khost)约44公里处。
灾情严重的巴克迪卡省(Paktika)资讯和文化部门负责人胡扎法(Mohammad Amin Huzaifa)表示:「民众正一个接一个地挖著坟墓。」他还说,光是巴克迪卡省就有至少1000人丧命。
他告诉记者:「当地还在下雨,所有房屋都震毁。民众仍被困在瓦砾堆之下。」
随着难以到达的偏远山区传来伤亡消息,死亡人数一整天来不断增加,阿富汗最高领袖艾昆萨达(Hibatullah Akhundzada)已经警告说,强震造成的死亡人数可能会进一步攀升。

稍早,巴克迪卡省一位部落首领指出,幸存者和救难人员正忙着帮助那些受影响的灾民。
曼佐(Yaqub Manzor)透过电话告诉法新社:「当地市场已经关闭,所有人都已赶往受灾地区。」
贴在社群媒体上的照片和影片显示,这些偏远乡村地区有许多严重受损的泥屋。
部分画面显示,当地民众将灾民送上军用直升机。
联合国人道事务协调厅(OCHA)已经在第一份回应公告中表示,人道合作伙伴正准备与阿富汗塔利班(Taliban)当局协调,以协助巴克迪卡省和柯斯特省(Khost)的受灾户。
联合国人道事务协调厅指出,确定的直接需求包括紧急创伤照护、紧急避难和非粮食物品、粮食援助,还有水、公共卫生和个人卫生等支援。
