Overview
- Afghanistan’s disaster agency said severe weather over the last two days left 22 people dead and 32 injured across 13 provinces.
- Most fatalities were reported in central and eastern regions, with cases in Parwan, Maidan Wardak, Daykundi, and Logar after torrents triggered flash floods.
- The National Disaster Management Authority reported 241 houses damaged as collapsing walls and roofs followed hours of pounding rain.
- Officials warned of continued risk from further rain and floods, and said casualty and damage figures could rise as assessments continue.
- Seasonal floods often turn deadly in Afghanistan, where many homes are made of mud and weak roads, years of conflict, deforestation, and a warming climate increase the harm.
