Water supplies will not last more than two weeks so electricity is only available for six hours per day. The government will import power from Romania and Italy.
• Near Kabul, capital city of Afghanistan, a cargo plane from Pakistan carrying 8-10 people collides with a vehicle. There are no survivors. It is not known what caused the crash.
