Kabul: The death toll from the earthquake that struck Afghanistan four days ago has surpassed 4,000.
According to international news agencies, the aftershocks continue in the Herat province, with more than 20 villages completely destroyed in the Zendah Jan district.

At the moment 35 rescue teams are engaged in relief efforts.
People are still trapped under the rubble of collapsed buildings, raising concerns of further casualties. Mullah Janan Saiq, a spokesperson for the disaster response agencies, has stated that significant damage has occurred in three provinces due to the earthquake.
