More than 100 people are still feared trapped under the rubble after an earthquake-triggered landslide buried more than 20 houses in Afghanistan's Baghlan province.

Rescuers have so far pulled two women's bodies from the debris in Burka district, the site of the landslide.

The UN said in a statement that it was working with local authorities to try to help in the rescue effort in the remote mountain villages.
