Hundreds of other people have been injured and displaced.

Rescue workers are trying to move them to hospitals, but their efforts have been hampered by the widespread destruction. A local official said survivors in the area -- which is near the border with Iran -- are in desperate need of tents, medicine, and food.

Members of Pakistan's military have been airlifted to the area to deliver supplies and help with recovery efforts.

The powerful quake, measured by the U.S. Geological Survey at magnitude 7.7, also caused the seabed to rise and create a small island off Pakistan's southern coast.巴基斯坦西南部星期二大地震造成的死亡人數持續上升。有關官員說，地震造成俾路支省阿瓦蘭山區成千上萬的泥土房在地震中倒塌，至少有327人死亡。

還有數以百計的人受傷並失去家園。

救援人員正試圖把受傷災民送往醫院，不過大面積的破壞阻礙了運送傷員的努力。這位官員說，當地的地震倖存者急需帳篷、藥品和食物。受災地區靠近伊朗邊界。
