Recent flash flooding in northern Afghanistan has resulted in a devastating loss of life, with at least 200 people confirmed dead, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The provinces of Badakhshan, Ghor, Baghlan, and Herat have been severely affected, with nearly 2,000 homes damaged by the floods.
The IOM is actively providing emergency aid on the ground and anticipates that the death toll will continue to rise. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is also gearing up its emergency response efforts across seven provinces, estimating that over 250 lives have been lost and thousands of individuals are stranded without access to essential services.
