Hundreds Feared Dead, Thousands Trapped Under Afghan Landslide -- Reuters
(Reuters) - More than 2,000 people were trapped and hundreds feared dead after a landslide smashed into a village in a remote mountainous area of Afghanistan on Friday, local officials said, prompting a massive search and rescue effort.
The landslide crashed into the northeastern village in Argo district at around 11 a.m. as villagers were trying to recover their belongings and livestock after a smaller landslip had hit the area a few hours earlier.
"There were more than 1,000 families living in that village. A total of 2,100 people - men, women and children - are trapped," Naweed Forotan, a spokesman for the Badakhshan governor, told Reuters.
