Thousands of Afghans out in cold after deadly quakes

"Our family was killed here.

How could we live here?," says 40 year-old Mohammad Naeem as he sits near the house where he lost 12 family members in a series of quakes that killed at least 1,000 people in western Afghanistan.

Like him, thousands of Afghans who survived the quake on 7 October are bracing for a winter of homelessness, as rescuers make last-ditch efforts to find survivors.

At least one person was killed and 130 injured on 11 October when western Afghanistan was struck by another 6.3-magnitude earthquake.
