Humanitarian aid is slowly arriving in the most affected districts of Afghanistan.  The earthquake that shook the south-east of the country has caused the death of 1,100 people according to the latest official report, and more than 1,600 have been injured. Our correspondents went to Gayan, one of the worst affected districts in Paktika province.

Just 50km away from Gayan, in the same district of the Paktika province, is a town that was spared by the earthquake. Every day the locals here send trucks filled with food and blankets to the most affected people living in the surrounding remote villages.
