At about 11:00 yesterday morning, a 6.3-magnitude earthquake and several strong aftershocks shook western Afghanistan in Herat, Badghis and Farah provinces. Some of the most affected areas are just 40 kilometres from Herat city. The full extent of the destruction is yet unknown, but initial estimates indicate that several hundred people, including women and children, lost their lives or were injured. "Let me express our heartfelt condolences to families mourning the loss of loved ones," said Fran Equiza, UNICEF Representative in Afghanistan.
