The dead toll of the flash floods in Afghanistan rises to 151

A series of flash floods has occurred over the past week after torrential rain in Charikar, Parwan Provinces of Afghanistan.

The flood killed at least 110 people and injured 150 others, and destroyed hundreds of houses. The Ministry of Disaster Management has also reported some casualties and destruction of infrastructure in the provinces of Kapisa, Maidan Wardak, Nangarhar, Panjshir, and Paktia.

Recovery was complicated by the ongoing War in Afghanistan, as in some areas, delivering assistance was not possible due to fighting. (ILKHA)
