Hope dwindles in finding survivors after Afghanistan landslide

Afghan National Army (ANA) troops load supply for survivors of the Badakhshan landslide onto a helicopter in Kabul, May 3, 2014. Afghan officials gave up hope on Saturday of finding any survivors from a landslide in the remote northeast, putting the death toll at more than 2,100, as the aid effort focused on the more than 4,000 people displaced. Officials expressed concern the unstable hillside above the site of the disaster may cave in again, threatening the thousands of homeless and hundreds of rescue workers who have arrived in Badakhshan province, bordering Tajikistan.
