More Deaths in Northern Afghanistan Due to Flooding
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Afghanistan records more death due to heavy rains and flooding in northern Afghanistan, at least 47 people were killed. This unfortunate development happened just a day after a similar number were killed in the central province of Ghor. The persistent rain has caused widespread destruction, further exacerbating the region’s vulnerability to natural disasters.

Why It Matters

Afghanistan is highly susceptible to natural disasters, and the United Nations identifies it as one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change. The recent floods highlight the immediate humanitarian crisis and underline the chronic challenges faced by the nation.

Since the Taliban’s takeover in 2021 and the subsequent withdrawal of foreign forces, there has been a significant reduction in aid. This shortfall has left the country struggling to manage such crises, particularly as development aid, once the backbone of government finances, due to criticism of the Taliban by global community and international organisations.

What They Are Saying

Shamsudden Mohammedi, head of the information department for Faryab province, reported that at least 300 houses were destroyed in the northern region. In the central province of Ghor, Mawlawi Abdul Hai Zaeem confirmed that at least 50 people died on Saturday.

Last week, flash floods caused by heavy rains killed 315 people and injured over 1,600 in northern Afghanistan, according to local authorities. Further complicating recovery efforts, an Afghan air force helicopter crashed on Wednesday during attempts to recover bodies in Ghor province, resulting in one death and 12 injuries due to technical issues, according to the defense ministry.

Bottom Line

The devastating floods in Afghanistan underscore the urgent need for international assistance and enhanced disaster preparedness. The significant reduction in aid since the Taliban’s takeover has left the country ill-equipped to handle natural disasters. As Afghanistan continues to face increasing environmental challenges and political instability, the humanitarian crisis is likely to worsen without substantial global intervention. These events highlight the critical need for sustained support to address the impacts of climate change and to bolster the country’s resilience against future disasters.
