According to early reports, at least 300 houses were destroyed, according to Shamsudden Mohammedi, who is in charge of information for the Faryab area in the north. He told Reuters this.
One of the heads of the province’s information office, Mawlawi Abdul Hai Zaeem, said that at least 50 people died on Saturday in the central province of Ghor.
The UN says that Afghanistan is one of the countries most likely to be affected by climate change and natural disasters.
Last week, heavy rains caused flash floods that destroyed towns in northern Afghanistan. More than 1,600 people were hurt and 315 were killed, the government said on Sunday.
The Afghan air force’s helicopter crashed on Wednesday while trying to collect the bodies of people who had fallen into a river in Ghor province. The helicopter’s “technical issues” caused one death and 12 injuries, according to the defence ministry.
There hasn’t been enough help for Afghanistan since the Taliban took over and foreign troops left in 2021. Cuts were made to development aid, which was a big part of how the government made money.
In the years that followed, the deficit got worse as other countries dealt with different world crises and more people spoke out against the Taliban’s restrictions on Afghan women.
