A | ISLAMABAD -- More than 90% of the people killed by a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in western Afghanistan last weekend were women and children, U.N. officials reported Thursday.Taliban officials said Saturday's earthquake killed more than 2,000 people of all ages and genders across Herat province. The epicenter was in Zenda Jan district, where 1,294 people died, 1,688 were injured and every home was destroyed, according to U.N. figures. Women and children were more likely to have been at home when the quake struck in the morning, said Siddig Ibrahim, the chief of the UNICEF field office in Herat, said. “When the first earthquake hit, people thought it was an explosion, and they ran into their homes,” he said.Hundreds of people, mostly women, remain missing in Zenda Jan.The Afghanistan representative for the United Nations Population Fund, Jaime Nadal, said there would have been no “gender dimension” to the death toll if the quake had happened at night.“At that time of the day, men were out in the field,” Nadal told The Associated Press. “Many men migrate to Iran for work. The women were at home doing the chores and looking after the children. They found themselves trapped under the rubble. There was clearly a gender dimension.”The initial quake, numerous aftershocks and a second 6.3-magnitude quake on Wednesday flattened entire villages, destroying hundreds of mud-brick homes that could not withstand such force. Schools, health clinics and other village facilities also collapsed.The Norwegian Refugee Council described the devastation as enormous. “Early reports from our teams are that many of those who lost their lives were small children who were crushed or suffocated after buildings collapsed on them,” the council said. The maternity hospital in Herat province has cracks that make the structure unsafe. The U.N. Population Fund has provided tents so pregnant women have somewhere to stay and receive care, Nadal said. Many people inside and outside the provincial capital are still sleeping outside, even as temperatures drop.The disproportionate impact of the quake on women has left children without mothers, their primary caregivers, raising questions about who will raise them or how to reunite them with fathers who might be out of the province or Afghanistan.Aid officials say orphanages are non-existent or rare, meaning children who have lost one or both parents were likely to be taken in by surviving relatives or community members.Earthquakes are common in Afghanistan, where there are a number of fault lines and frequent movement among three nearby tectonic plates.Women may be at risk of not getting information on earthquake preparedness because of Taliban edicts curtailing their mobility and rights, and restrictions imposed on female humanitarian workers, a U.N. report has warned.Authorities have barred girls from school beyond sixth grade and stopped women from working at nongovernmental groups, although there are exceptions for some sectors like health care. The Taliban also say that women cannot travel long distances without male chaperones.Aid agencies say their female Afghan staff members are “for now” working freely in Herat and reaching women and girls affected by the earthquake.UNICEF has launched a $20 million appeal to help the estimate 13,000 children and families devastated by the earthquake.。 本文来自微信公众号：每日经济新闻 （ID：nbdnews），作者：黄婉银、李旭馗（实习），编辑：程鹏、黄博文、潘海福，原文标题：《机身断成两截，2名遇难者在海下约7米处被找到，巡逻车在飞机跑道外被撞进海里，香港机场飞机坠海事故更多细节披露》，题图来自：每日经济新闻（记者 李旭道 摄） 10月20日凌晨约3时50分，香港国际机场发生一宗事故。
B | 一架由阿联酋阿勒马克图姆国际机场抵港的B744货机（航班编号UAE9788）在北跑道降落后出现偏离情况滑出海面。 10月20日上午，香港机管局新闻发布会直播画面；每经记者 李旭馗 摄 据悉，该货机意外撞到一辆正在跑道上巡逻的机管局巡逻车。
C | 巡逻车连人带车被撞落海，车上的男乘客当场身亡，而男司机则重伤送院抢救后不治身亡。救援人员在水下约7米的地方将巡逻车乘客和司机救出。 香港民航意外调查机构已就有关意外展开调查。
D | 发布会现场，图片来源：每经记者 李旭馗 摄 出动超200名救援人员，被撞巡逻车在安全距离内 《每日经济新闻》记者从事故新闻发布会现场了解到，香港消防人员确认地点后，两分钟内便到达事故现场，随即展开救援工作。
E | 消防人员在现场看到，涉事货机成两截，浮在海面，四名机组人员在打开的机舱门口等待救援。消防人员立即派人进行营救，协助机上四名机组人员通过逃生滑梯离开机舱。据介绍，四名机组人员已获救送院。
F | 另外，有一辆巡逻车受到事故波及而坠海，消防人员也展开了水上和水下的救援工作，包括在北跑道两侧各500米的范围内进行搜索。
G | 最终，消防潜水员在40分钟后确定了坠海巡逻车的位置，并在车内找到了2名被困人员。 图片来源：每经记者 李旭馗 摄 其中一位是41岁的男性巡逻车司机，他从水下被救出时，已无呼吸、无脉搏，且头部受伤，后送医急救不治身亡。同车另一名30岁的男性机场巡逻车人员，被现场紧急医疗队医生宣布死亡。 随后，消防人员进入涉事货机的机舱，确认机舱内没有其他被困人员。消防“蛙人”还利用水下机器人在附近水域搜索，确保周围没有其他失踪人员。 在此次事故中，香港消防处一共出动了213名消防人员和救护人员，调派了45辆消防车、2艘指挥船、5艘快艇以及24部救护车辆。 “巡逻车绝对没有进入跑道，是飞机冲出跑道后撞到了围网外的巡逻车。”发布会现场相关负责人表示，巡逻车当时正在执行巡逻任务，负责巡查海岸线，距离跑道有一段安全距离。 该巡逻车主要负责巡查机场整个北海岸线，其长度超过4公里，目的是确保整个机场的安全，一旦发生事故能及时处理。从1998年开始，香港国际机场就有巡逻车在这条海岸线巡逻，也设有固定岗哨，巡逻车会不时巡逻。
H | 不巡逻时，会停在一个固定位置，事发时巡逻车就停在该固定位置上。 机场未收到任何协助或求救信号，事故调查机构正在搜索“黑匣子” 记者还从发布会上了解到，涉事货机当时已经安全落地且滑行了差不多一半的距离。目前，事故原因还在调查中，正在搜索飞机两个“黑匣子”（驾驶舱语音记录器和飞行数据记录器）。 事发前，涉事航班与香港民航处指挥塔有无线电联络。指挥塔为其指定了正确的降落路线，即降落在北跑道。
I | 指挥塔期间没有收到飞行员任何协助或求救信号。在降落到北跑道后，飞机突然转向并滑到海面。指挥塔尝试用无线电呼叫飞行员，但飞行员没有回应。 针对涉事飞机何时能移走这一问题，相关负责人现场表示，其已经联系了相关航空公司以及飞机的所有者，他们都表示会来香港处理相关问题。此外，移走涉事飞机还需要等意外调查机构完成调查、收集好证据。 香港民航意外调查机构调查小组发言人表示，小组现正收集数据和资讯，并确定需要进一步调查的范围和跟进的调查方向，目的是确定意外发生的经过和成因，以避免同类事件再次发生。 香港民航意外调查机构是香港运输及物流局下成立的一个独立调查机构，负责根据《香港民航（意外调查）规例》（第448B章）及参考国际民用航空组织的标准，进行民航意外及事故的调查。 本文来自微信公众号：每日经济新闻 （ID：nbdnews），作者：黄婉银、李旭馗（实习），编辑：程鹏、黄博文、潘海福，校对：金冥羽。
