Afghan authorities have confirmed more than 2,100 people have been killed following a landslide which crashed into a remote mountain village in the country’s north-east.
Villagers and a few dozen police, equipped with only basic digging tools, resumed their search when daylight broke on Saturday, but it soon became clear there was no hope of finding survivors buried in up to 100 metres of mud.More then 2,100 people from 300 families are all dead.
The United Nations says the focus is now on the more than 4,000 people displaced by the disaster.
