AKHTAR JAN, Afghanistan: Village life has always been tough for Afghans in the rugged mountains of the east, but compared to what they are enduring today it was paradise.A 5.9-magnitude earthquake rumbled through the area last Wednesday, killing more than 1,000 people, injuring three times that many, and leaving tens of thousands homeless.
'The earthquake killed eight members of my family and my house is destroyed,' he says, looking weary.'There is a big difference now. Before we had our own houses and everything we needed. Now we have nothing and our families are living in tents.'Neighbour Malin Jan is already looking ahead, fearful of what the future holds.The harsh winter, which lasts almost five months in this remote mid-mountain region, will arrive in September.
