Floods Again Hit Several Provinces in Afghanistan

Devastating floods have once again swept through the provinces of Ghor, Faryab, Badakhshan, Sar-e Pol, and Jawzjan. 

According to initial reports, hundreds of houses have been destroyed, and in addition to the destruction of thousands of acres of agricultural land, hundreds of livestock have also perished. 

There are no details available yet on human casualties resulting from these floods.

Abdul Rahman, a resident of Firozkoh city, said: "From Firozkoh city to the villages of Kandovan and Shahr Yaman, and from the west to the villages along the Harirod River, hundreds of houses and shops have been destroyed. People's livestock have also perished. The water has entered people's homes, and so far, there is no information on human casualties."

Mohammad Sediq, another resident of Firozkoh, said: "The flood is ongoing and has entered the city, flooding people's homes and shops, destroying houses and livestock."

In the past ten days, this is the third time that devastating floods have hit the Murghab district of Ghor. In the most recent flood, one person died, and dozens of houses and shops have been destroyed.

Amanullah Paikar, the governor of Murghab district, said: "This is the third time that floods have hit, causing damage to the people. Everything in the market is submerged, and we have moved about twenty-five shops to higher ground."

Juma Khan, another resident of Murghab district, said: "The roads are completely blocked, and the shops are completely ruined. People are trying to remove their belongings from their homes and shops, but they can't do anything."

The powerful floods in the city of Faizabad and the districts of Argo, Raghistan, Darayim, and Yaftal in Badakhshan have caused significant damage. 

According to local authorities in Badakhshan, five hundred residential houses and ten thousand acres of agricultural land have been destroyed, and nearly five hundred livestock have perished.

Abdul Zaker, a resident of Badakhshan, said: "More than eighty houses have been completely destroyed, and people have no place to live and are living in the open."

Toryali, another resident of Badakhshan, said, "All our possessions in the two houses we have are gone. We could only save our family, and everything else was washed away by the flood."

In the provinces of Faryab, Jawzjan, and Sar-e Pol, powerful floods have also caused extensive damage to the people.
