Afghanistan Flood News

Mohammad Ali Aryanfar

Emergency aid and rescue teams struggled on Sunday to reach areas of northern Afghanistan hardest hit by flash floods

that killed hundreds, AFP journalists saw.

The military was using heavy machinery to pave the way, as well as to free aid trucks stuck in the mud. The United Nations World Food Programme shared a photo on social media site X of WFP-stamped bags of flour strapped to donkeys’ backs, saying it had to “resort to every alternative to get food to the survivors who lost everything” in Baghlan, as most of the affected areas were “inaccessible by trucks”.

The country, ravaged by four decades of war, is one of the world’s poorest and, according to scientists, one of the worst prepared to face the consequences of global warming.Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
