While Hurricane Kiko continues to weaken as it passes north of Hawaii, the state will still experience much larger swells, dangerous rip currents and possibly other impacts this week.

Despite Kiko's weakening trend, swells generated by the storm are beginning to reach Hawaii, causing life-threatening surf and rip currents, especially along east-facing beaches.

The threat for large swells and rip currents will remain in place for the islands through mid-week, especially for north-facing beaches, as Kiko passes to the north.

We could see increased rainfall through the week and some stronger gusts over higher elevations and exposed coastal areas, however, dangerous ocean conditions will be the main threat with this particular storm.

The worst earthquake to hit Afghanistan in years has killed more than 1,400 people, the Taliban says, with more than 3,000 others injured as different conditions hinder rescue efforts in remote areas.

Sunday's magnitude-6.0 quake has killed at least 1,411 people and injured another 3,124, with some 5,400 houses destroyed, Taliban administration spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said.

The Afghan Red Crescent Society, a humanitarian group working in the region, said many people are still trapped under the rubble.

The United Nations has warned the number killed is likely to rise and that the number of people impacted could reach the hundreds of thousands.

"We cannot afford to forget the people of Afghanistan who are facing multiple crises, multiple shocks, and the resilience of the communities has been saturated," Indrika Ratwatte, the UN's resident coordinator for Afghanistan, told a media briefing on Tuesday.

He urged the international community to step forward.

Rescuers have recovered hundreds of bodies from mountainous areas of southeastern Afghanistan, which was hit by a major earthquake at the weekend, taking the death toll to more than 2,200, according to a Taliban government spokesperson.

Previous estimates said some 1,400 people were killed. Taliban spokesperson Hamdullah Fitrat said on Thursday that the updated death toll was 2,205.
