Flash floods cause deaths, damage in western Afghanistan

Fresh flash floods triggered by heavy rains in western Afghanistan have killed several people and damaged homes and infrastructure in Herat province.

Afghan officials report that renewed heavy rains have triggered flash floods in western Afghanistan, particularly in Herat province, killing at least several people and leaving others missing. The downpours have caused rivers to swell suddenly, sweeping away vehicles and homes in rural districts. Authorities note that dozens of houses have been damaged or destroyed and livestock lost, disrupting local livelihoods. The floods have also temporarily cut off some roads and hindered access for emergency responders. Officials warn that further rain and meltwater could increase the risk of additional flooding in the coming days, stressing the need for early warning and evacuation measures.
