Updated on 29 October, at 12:10 PM Quake hit victims are facing a tough time as timely aid and help is unable to reach them due to freezing weather in parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. With the death toll rising and more than 10,000 homes left devastated, situation is worsening in the quake-hit region. Hundreds of children have been forced to sleep under the cold open sky in absence of any proper shelter shielding them against the sub-zero temperatures.
Updated on 28 October, at 5:10 PM: Cold weather in parts of Afghanistan is threatening the rescue effort where several people have been affected after the quake on Monday. Moreover, once winter weather sets in, the lack of shelter will lead to issues like respiratory problems, exposure, and skin disease.
Updated on 28 October, at 10:10 AM: Rescue efforts have been beefed up to help those affected by the magnitude-7.5 earthquake which hit remote areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan on Monday.
