KABUL adidas nmd human race black , Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- Rescue and relief workers have increased emergency response efforts for the victims of a deadly earthquake in Afghanistan, said an official of the country's National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) on Tuesday.
"The latest information by ANDMA showed that 74 people were killed while 343 others were wounded by Monday's massive earthquake," Mohammad Hassan Sayas, deputy to ANDMA, told Xinhua by phone.
A 7.5-magnitude earthquake with a depth of 210 km hit the Hindu Kush mountain range in northern Afghanistan at 0909 GMT on Monday, with strong tremors also felt in Pakistan and India.
Up to 3 adidas nmd human race for sale ,297 houses and compounds had been destroyed or severely damaged by the natural disaster in the affected provinces and the number may rise, he said.
All national and international aid agencies, including Afghan Red Crescent, have been in close contact with ANDMA, Sayas said, adding adidas nmd r2 pink womens , "there has been a close and proper coordination between the disaster agency and all national and international aid agencies as well as the ministries for defense and interior for providing assistance to the affected areas."
"As of now, our agency is in need of non-food stuffs namely tents, blankets, kitchen tools and clothes," he said.
"We are still collecting reports on casualties and damage, but the number of deaths and wounded will likely increase adidas nmd r2 black white ," Sayas said.
Dozens of relief workers have already arrived in areas in northern Badakhshan, Takhar, Parwan and eastern Nangarhar, as well as in Kunar provinces. "Food kits and kitchen tools have also been distributed to victims and survivors in many villages," added Sayas.
Parts of eastern Kabul, including Kabul city adidas nmd r2 for sale , Nuristan, Laghman,and northern Baghlan provinces were also affected by the disaster.
"Luckily, the quake began with a weak tremor, giving people a chance to leave their houses for safer areas. Fortunately, the casualties are lower than initially expected adidas nmd xr4 for sale ," Sayas said.
"Nearly all of the affected areas are located in mountainous provinces. Some of our rescue teams and assessment groups have been facing difficulties in reaching far-flung villages. They have been facing the challenges of difficult terrain as many rough roads are blocked by quake-triggered landslides," the disaster official noted.
When asked whether the country was in need of assistance, the official said that the United States, Turkey and Iran have showed their readiness to offer assistance to the ongoing relief efforts.
"We are appreciative of their moves and we would welcome any kind of assistance provided by any country," he said.
Afghan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani said he was greatly saddened by the casualties and losses caused by Monday's earthquake, and expressed his sympathies and condolences to the families of the victims adidas nmd city sock grey , according to a statement posted on the country's presidential Palace website.

"The number of casualties may go up to over 100 and more than 500 injured in the coming hours," Seddiqi said.
UNITED NATIONS， July 28 (Xinhua) -- The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on Thursday presented a response plan to what it describes as "a race against time in drought-ravaged Southern Africa" to ensure 23 million people receive farming support， a UN spokesman told reporters here.
"With only a few weeks before land preparation begins for the next main cropping season， the plan aims to ensure that seeds， fertilizers， tools， and other inputs and services are provided to small-holder farmers to cope with the El Nino-induced drought in the region，" Farhan Haq， the deputy UN spokesman， said at a daily news briefing here.
The FAO warns that at least 109 million U.S. dollars in funding is required to avoid these 23 million people being dependent on humanitarian assistance until mid-2018， he said.
On July 15， the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that Southern Africa is experiencing the worst El Nino-induced drought in 35 years， following the failure of two consecutive rainy seasons.
Nearly 40 million people in the region are food insecure， OCHA said.
This year's El Nino is taking place in a world already dramatically affected by climate change.
