Devastating Floods in Northern Afghanistan Leave 315 Dead
A recent flash flood in northern Afghanistan has left 315 people dead and more than 1,600 injured, according to the Taliban-run ministry for refugees. The floods, caused by heavy rains, have wreaked havoc in the region, destroying homes, livestock, and vital infrastructure.
The refugee ministry, citing figures from its provincial office, highlights the dire situation in Baghlan province. The lack of aid and resources in Afghanistan, compounded by the Taliban’s restrictions on foreign aid work, has left the country vulnerable to natural disasters and lacking essential support.
As Afghanistan grapples with the aftermath of these devastating floods, calls for assistance from the international community grow louder. The economy minister of the Taliban government has urged the U.N., humanitarian agencies, and private businesses to provide aid to those affected by the disaster.
