Afghanistan desert causes 19 deaths
The news reports the death of 19 Afghan migrants in the desert while attempting to cross into Iran, due to drought and high temperatures that sometimes exceeded 50 degrees Celsius. The bodies of the men, who hail from Badghis Province, were found in the regions of "Rej Lalo" and "Dasht Margo" in Nimroz Province, about two weeks after their deaths from thirst and dehydration during their attempt to cross the arid desert area. The region is among the hottest in Afghanistan, and it is believed that traffickers encourage such dangerous journeys. The international organization warns of the worsening situation of drinking water in Afghanistan, with clean water unavailable for more than 21 million people, increasing the risk of fatalities under these conditions.
