Deadly Flash Floods Kill Over 300 in Afghanistan, Dozens Injured | Firstpost Earth

At least 300 people have been killed and over 100 were injured in flash floods in northern Afghanistan triggered by torrential rain. Heavy rainfall led to a deluge in several areas including northern Baghlan, Takhar and Badakhshan. The World Health Organization has said that several had been left homeless and transportation, water and waste systems were "severely disrupted". The rain has damaged about 2,000 homes, three mosques, and four schools. The ruling Taliban regime said that helicopters were sent to try to assist civilians overnight after receiving reports that over 100 people were stranded. They added that tents, blankets and food were provided to some families who had lost their homes.
