Kazinform, the news agency of Kazakhstan, reported that the 45-member rescue team from the country has concluded its mission in Herat and is now preparing to return to their homeland.
These rescue workers came to Herat following the deadly earthquake last week.
Kazinform reported that members of the Kazakh rescue team cleared debris of 211 houses and inspected 700 locations.
According to the report, they retrieved the corpse of a child from beneath the debris.
It added that members of the Kazakh rescue team also inspected a camp at the request of local Taliban officials, which had been destroyed after a severe storm.
The completion of work by the Kazakh rescue team means that six days after the Herat earthquake, the chances of finding survivors trapped under the rubble have significantly diminished.
According to the report by Kazinform, quoting sources in Herat, at least 2,445 people were killed as a result of the earthquake and several aftershocks in Herat.
