STORYLINE:
Survivors appeal for help as Afghanistan's state-run news agency reported a powerful earthquake struck a rural, mountainous region of the country's east, killing 1,000 people and injuring 1,500 more.
The quake on Wednesday was Afghanistan's deadliest in two decades, and officials said the toll could rise.
Information remained scarce on the magnitude 6.1 earthquake near the Pakistani border.
But early footage from villages tucked among the rough mountains showed residents picking through rubble of collapsed stone and mud-brick houses.
