Recent floods have claimed the lives of at least thirteen individuals and left sixteen others injured across eight provinces in the country over the past few days.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) reports that more than 100 residential houses have been partially or completely destroyed, and over 650 acres of farmland have suffered significant damage.
The provinces hardest hit include Ghazni, Laghman, Nangarhar, Farah, Paktia, Badghis, Herat, and Daikundi.
Janan Saiq, a spokesperson for the NDMA, said, "Since the beginning of this month, thirteen citizens have tragically lost their lives, and sixteen have been injured in these affected areas."
In addition to the tragic loss of life, the floods have inflicted substantial financial damage. Many victims are now urgently appealing to the Islamic Emirate for assistance.
Agha Jan, one such victim, lamented, "The floods have devastated us, destroying all our wheat crops, and we urgently seek government support." Another affected individual, Mohammadullah, expressed despair: "Our homes and shops have been washed away, and countless people have lost their lands."
The NDMA has announced that its teams are actively working to provide initial aid to the victims and establish temporary shelters for families who have lost their homes in this natural disaster.
