More than a 100 people have been killed in a series of avalanches in Afganistan

Date:
05.02.2017

The avalanches struck after 3 days of heavy snow, in central and northeastern provinces of Afganistan, making it difficult for rescue workers to reach the stricken villages.

The bulk of the deaths occurred in remote Nuristan province, where at least 50 people were killed in a single village.
