This handout photograph released by the Pakistan’s Emergency Rescue 1122 Service on March 22, 2023 shows rescue workers attending an earthquake victim at a hospital in Swat of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. AFPPIX: At least 12 people were killed in Afghanistan and Pakistan by a strong earthquake felt across thousands of kilometres, but the region appeared Wednesday to have dodged the mass casualties usually associated with a tremor of such scale.
“But fortunately our fears proved wrong. Residents panicked due to the magnitude of the earthquake, but the damage was minimal.” Khudadad Heights, a vast multi-storey residential block in the Pakistan capital, was evacuated after huge cracks appeared in the building. Government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said health centres across the country had been put on high alert.
