The United Nations has announced that more than 40 people were killed after heavy rainfall triggered severe flash floods in eastern Afghanistan. The disaster has also caused extensive damage to residential homes, public buildings, and local businesses in the region.
Humanitarian agencies are rushing emergency assistance to the affected communities while search and rescue operations continue for missing individuals. The UN emphasized that immediate needs include emergency shelter, food assistance, healthcare services, and psychosocial support for the victims.
Afghanistan remains highly vulnerable to natural disasters due to years of conflict and weak infrastructure. The Taliban government authorities have confirmed the casualties in Nuristan province and held emergency meetings to coordinate urgent relief efforts with international aid organizations.
