Difficult to get information from remote epicenter

As mentioned, the death toll from the earthquake in Afghanistan has surpassed 50, with more than 200 injured. As search and rescue work continues, that number is likely to rise.

At least a dozen schoolgirls were trampled to death as they tried to flee their classroom in the remote northern Afghan province of Takhar.

Earlier, Roxanna Shapour in Kabul told us gathering information from the epicenter is very difficult at the moment, adding that it is expected to be days before a complete assessment can be made, but some residents of Kabul were able to give us their own stories.
