Devastating Flash Floods Hit Afghanistan
Reports indicate that more than 300 individuals lost their lives in the recent flash floods that swept through various provinces in Afghanistan. The UN’s World Food Program has confirmed this tragic event, which has prompted authorities to declare a state of emergency.
Impact of the Flash Floods
The heavy rains on Friday led to the sudden overflow of rivers, carrying torrents of water and mud that devastated villages and agricultural areas across multiple provinces. The scale of the destruction has been described as a “major humanitarian emergency” by one aid organization.
Search and Rescue Efforts Underway
Rescue teams are working tirelessly to locate and assist those who are still missing or injured in the aftermath of the floods. The urgent response aims to provide aid and support to the affected communities during this critical time.
