Flash floods triggered by unusually heavy seasonal rains in Afghanistan have resulted in a devastating toll, with more than 300 individuals losing their lives and over 1,000 houses being destroyed, according to the U.N. food agency. The World Food Program has swiftly responded by providing fortified biscuits to survivors in the northern province of Baghlan, which was severely impacted by the recent deluges. In Takhar province, reports from state-owned media outlets indicate that at least 20 people have tragically lost their lives due to the floods.
The Taliban government's chief spokesman shared on social media the grim reality of the situation, highlighting the widespread impact on provinces such as Badakhshan, Baghlan, Ghor, and Herat. The government has mobilized all available resources to conduct rescue operations, provide medical assistance to the injured, and retrieve the deceased.
