Severe spring storms have unleashed chaos across South Asia, killing 121 people in Afghanistan and Pakistan since March 20. Rescue teams are racing against time as floods and landslides continue to devastate communities.
Afghanistan's Flood Nightmare
Afghan disaster officials report 77 deaths since March 26, with 26 lives lost in just the last 48 hours. Heartbreaking stories emerge daily – three children drowned Saturday in Ghazni province when flash floods swept through their neighborhood. In Kandahar, a family of three perished under their collapsed roof.
Pakistan's Mountain Crisis
Northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province bears the brunt with 32 deaths, while southwestern Balochistan counts 12 fatalities. Mountain villages remain cut off by destroyed roads, complicating relief efforts as forecasters predict more rain this week.
🌐 "This is climate reality hitting home," says a UN aid coordinator working in the region. "Families lose everything in minutes – homes, livestock, sometimes entire villages."
