At least 50 people have died in central Afghanistan due to flash floods triggered by heavy rains, officials reported. In Ghor province, the sudden deluge has left many missing as residents scrambled to reach higher ground. Thousands of cattle have perished, around 2,000 houses destroyed, and extensive damage to infrastructure has been observed, with Firozkoh, the provincial capital, severely impacted. The floods follow a week of heavy rainfall that has caused widespread devastation in northern and central regions, leaving roads cut off and shops submerged.
Authorities have declared an emergency, urging for immediate aid including shelter, food, and water. Zahir Zahid, a local resident, recounted the terrifying moments as his house was washed away by the floods, with women and children fleeing in distress. UN and Taliban officials have indicated that the death toll from these latest floods may increase as rescue operations are hindered by inaccessible roads. Climate experts highlight Afghanistan's vulnerability to such disasters, exacerbated by a recent drought and ongoing political instability.
