The devastating floods follow earlier flash floods on May 10, which claimed seven lives in Ghor Province and affected other regions across Afghanistan, stated Abdul Wahid Hamas, spokesman for Ghor’s governor.
Heavy rainfall and floods have also disrupted road access to Ghor’s neighboring provinces, Herat and Farah, complicating relief efforts. Afghanistan has faced relentless heavy rains and flooding over the past month, resulting in significant casualties and widespread property damage.
