Afghanistan Floods Seek Missing People
The sudden floods that swept through Nuristan Province in eastern Afghanistan have resulted in at least 23 deaths and the disappearance of over a hundred others, destroying many homes and shops, and burying the town under mud and rocks. Rescue workers have been searching for missing persons using their hands and wooden poles. Officials have announced the deployment of the army and the provision of urgent aid, including food, water, and tents. The worsening of the disaster is attributed to climate change, which is leading to an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events. The floods have also affected neighboring areas in Pakistan, causing 12 deaths there. These floods are considered part of the broader impacts of climate change on the region, which has witnessed more than 200 deaths in recent months due to extreme weather conditions.
