Flash Floods in Afghanistan's Nuristan Kill 20, Over 100 Missing Amid Rescue Efforts
Flash floods in Afghanistan's Nuristan province have killed at least 20 people, injured around 80, and left over 100 missing, including the mayor of Parun, the provincial capital. Rescue operations face challenges due to damaged roads and difficult terrain. The floods caused extensive damage to homes, shops, and infrastructure. Authorities warn of more heavy rain and advise residents to avoid flood-prone areas. Afghanistan's vulnerability to extreme weather is worsened by deforestation, poor infrastructure, and climate change effects.
