A tragic incident in Kandahar province has resulted in the deaths of a woman and two children after the roof of their home collapsed.
Local officials reported that the disaster occurred in the Khakrez district following recent heavy rains that weakened the structure of the mud-brick house.
The head of the local disaster management authority confirmed the casualties, highlighting the dangers posed by substandard housing during the winter season.
Heavy rainfall and snow often threaten traditional homes in rural Afghanistan, leading to fatal accidents that devastate families.
This heartbreaking event underscores the vulnerability of rural communities living in fragile structures. Poverty and lack of resources leave many Afghans exposed to the elements, with natural hazards frequently claiming lives in areas where infrastructure resilience is low.
