Afghanistan landslide: Rescuers end search for survivors
Rescuers in Afghanistan have given up hope of finding any more survivors in a double landslide that is feared to have killed more than 2,500 people.
They have stopped digging through the earth and mud that swamped a whole village in the remote north-east province of Badakhshan on Friday.
Officials now say the site has become a mass grave for the village of Ab Barik.
Aid, including tents, food and water, has begun to arrive for the survivors.
They spent Friday night camped out in near freezing conditions on the open hillside.
