Approximately 24 hours after 2 landslides buried over 2000 residents of Argo district in the mountainous northeastern state of Badakhshan under hundreds of
feet of mud. The first landslide buried some 300 homes and those who had been inside or on the streets at the time as well as those attending a wedding party.
The second landslide struck as villagers attempted to rescue those trapped - digging with shovels and their bare hands. Today - Saturday - rescuers called off a
search for survivors due to a lack of heavy machinery required for the massive task. Mohammad Karim Khalili, one of Afghanistan’s two Vice Presidents along
with a handful of ministers travelled from Kabul to pay their respects at the site of the landslide today. Saturday 3 May, 2014. Photo by Andrew Quilty / Oculi for

2 days after 2 landslides buried an estimated 2000 residents of Abi Barak in the Argo district of the mountainous northeastern state
of Badakhshan under hundreds of feet of mud. The first landslide buried some 300 homes and those who had been inside or on the
streets at the time as well as those attending a wedding party. The second landslide struck as villagers attempted to rescue those
trapped - digging with shovels and their bare hands. Two women walk from the main centre of aid distribution back to their village -
one third of which was destroyed by the landslide of last Friday the evidence of which can be seen in the background. Monday 5

Tears of coal dust run down a donkey's face as it looks out of its shelter at a coal mine in Choa Saidan Shah in Punjab province May 5, 2014. Coal miners in
Chao Saidan Shah use donkeys to transport coal from the depths of the mines to the surface. The donkeys make around 20 trips per day carrying sacks
weighing about 20 kg (44 lbs) each. The work is dangerous with the constant risk of cave-ins. The miners say they do what they can to care for the animals,
with their limited resources, but the difficult conditions mean the donkeys' life expectancy is 12-13 years. May 8 is International Donkey Day, which The
Donkey Sanctuary NGO says "aims to highlight the worthy contribution donkeys make throughout the world." Picture taken May 5, 2014. REUTERS/Sara Farid

Syrians streamed back into the ruins of the Old City of Homs on May 10, picking through the remains of their homes and trying to come to terms with the
destruction after rebel forces in the Old City were besieged for nearly two years before the deal to evacuate, and regime troops shelled the area almost daily
throughout. The influx came a day after the last rebel holdouts left the area under an evacuation deal that handed the Old City back to the government,
granting it a symbolic victory. TOPSHOTS/AFP PHOTO/JOSEPH EIDJOSEPH EID/AFP/Getty Images
