Heavy rains in Afghanistan have turned deadly yet again, with 29 lives lost in just four days, officials confirmed Saturday. The disaster has left communities reeling across 10 provinces, as rescue teams scramble to aid survivors and assess the damage.
By the Numbers: At least 7 people were injured, 72 homes destroyed, and over 2,500 acres of farmland washed away—a devastating blow to families relying on agriculture. This month alone, floods have killed more than 100 people and displaced 25,000 families, according to government data.
Janan Sayeq, spokesperson for Afghanistan’s disaster management department, called the situation a 'race against time,' with aid groups working to deliver food, shelter, and medical supplies. Seasonal rains, intensified by climate shifts, have battered the region repeatedly this year, exposing vulnerabilities in infrastructure and disaster preparedness.
Why It Matters: Afghanistan is among the countries most impacted by climate-driven extreme weather, yet receives minimal global funding for adaptation. The recurring floods highlight urgent needs for sustainable solutions and international support.
