Afghanistan Floods Claim Dozens | Global News

Torrential rains unleash deadly flash floods across eastern Afghanistan, killing at least 20 and leaving over 100 missing as the capital of Nuristan province, Parun, is obliterated. The mayor is among the missing, and more than 80 injured as floodwaters sweep away homes, businesses, and infrastructure. With Afghanistan already vulnerable to climate change and crippled by decades of conflict, the disaster is worsened by deforestation and illegal logging that reduce land’s ability to absorb rain. The Taliban warns of more flooding across ten provinces, urging residents to stay away from rivers and flood zones — just weeks after a similar catastrophe claimed 150 lives in northern Afghanistan.
