The death toll from the earthquake that shook parts of South Asia has risen above 300, officials said Tuesday.

The number of dead in northwestern Pakistan has risen to 229, disaster management officials said, bringing the overall toll for Pakistan, Afghanistan and India to 304.

The panic in itself was deadly: In one northern Afghan town, 12 schoolgirls died in a stampede as they tried to evacuate their school during the quake.

The girls, between 10 and 15 years old, were crushed in their Taluqan city school’s stairwell, between the first and second floors, local police spokesman Abdul Khalil Asir said.

Early reports from Afghan, Pakistani and Indian officials put the death toll at more than 229, with hundreds of others injured.

At least 154 deaths have been reported in Pakistan, according to authorities there. Afghan officials report at least 74 deaths in that country’s northeastern provinces. One death has been reported in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir.afghanistan earthquake, earthquake in pakistan, afghanistan,earthquake in india,earthquake in nepal 2015,live earthquake video in india,Pakistan earthquake 2015,Afghanistan earthquake 2015,2015 earthquake,pakistan earthquake 2005 live video,delhi earthquake 2015,delhi earthquake today,india earthquake 2015,india earthquake 2015 live,earthquake video,earthquake videos caught on tape,news,ruptly,Rawalpindi,Pakistan,hospital,Earthquake,natural disaster,wounded,quake,earthquake victims,Kabul (City/Town/Village),Pakistan (Country),New Delhi (Indian City),earthquake,disaster,26 october,Ary News Headlines 26 October 2015,Ary News Headlines Today 26 October 2015,Ary News Headlines,26 October 2015,26th oc,2015,delhi,north india,latest,afginastan,pakistan,India,Politics (TV Genre),south asia,7.7,magnitude,Footage (Media Genre),damage,Nepal (Country),China,Interview,Song,Taiwan,Country (Musical Genre),Country (album),Exclusive,News,video,7.5 Earthquake,breaking news,debate,Earthquake in delhi,earthquake in afghanistan,Times now Arnab Goswami,Jammu and Kashmir,Hindukush,Times now headlines,7.5 Magnitude,Times Now Latest News,Afghanistan,india,Delhi,delhi earthquake,Rajasthan,news india,earthquake in jammu,Uttarakhand,Times now Debate,times now,earthquake india 2015,earthquake today,earthquake in India,earthquake in Delhi,Tremors in Delhi,Tremors in India,ndtv 24x7,Hindu Kush,France,24,F24,Latest,India (Country),Afghanistan (Country),Drama,France 24 (TV Network),France 24 English,Earth,Quake,Tremor,Information,Info,Islamabad (City/Town/Village),Kush,Hindu Kush (Mountain Range),Earthquake in North India,Afghanistan earthquake,tremors in North India,earthquake tremors,NDTV 24x7,euronews,world,Natural catastrophe,breaking,bbc,bbc news,afghanistan,happening now,youtube,lifestyle,crisis,tremors in Delhi,tremors in India,earthquake in pakistan,Earthquake (Disaster Type),earthquake 26 october 2015,breaking news 26 october 2015,pakistani breaking news,indian breaking news 26 october,Landslide (Disaster Type),Gilgit (City/Town/Village),Hunza Valley (Location),TOLOnews,???????????????????,??????????,??????????????????,Earthquake Hits Afghanistan,Earthquake in Afghanistan,earthquake in Afghanistan,earthquake in Pakistan and India,Badakhshan province,Baghlan proivnce,eastern parts of Afghanistan,???????? ??????????????? ?????????????? ?????????????????? ???? ???????? ??????,???????? ???????? ???? ???????????????????? ?????????????? ?? ??????,?????????? ????????????,?????? ?????? ????????????,?????????? ??????????,?????????? ????????,Felt,Srinagar,Shakes,Tremors,northern India,hit,Monday,buildings in Delhi,5.7 magnitude,India Meteorological Department (IMD) 6.2 in Hindukush region of Afghanistan,Islamabad,Breaking News,News update,videos,InKhabar,yt:stretch=16:9,Drama (TV Genre),News24,News24video,Srinagar (Indian City),Delhi (Indian State),earthquake in delhi,tremors in delhi,hindi news,India TV,india tv news,latest news,daily news,news in hindi,bbc hindi,news today,india news,hindi,india today,live news,aap ki adalat,Aaj Ki Baat,Crime News,Politics,politics news,aap ki adalat latest,National Capital Region (Location),4578721833001,abstract,newsblockclip,kabul,cbnnews,cbnnewsyoutube,CBN News,newsblock,South Asia,
