ISTANBUL
Turkey’s IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation continued on Monday to deliver humanitarian aid to families hit by a massive landslide in northeast Afghanistan.
Challenging terrain conditions made the aid and rescue teams use "primitive methods" to deliver the aid packages containing food, rugs, blankets and kitchen utensils, a statement from the Istanbul-based foundation said.
Over 2,000 are considered dead after a landslide hit a village in Badakhshan province in northern Afghanistan on Friday.
Afghan officials formally stopped the search for survivors and declared the disaster area a "mass grave" on Saturday.
