Search Underway for Dozens Missing in Afghan Flood
Heavy floods in eastern Afghanistan, particularly in Nuristan Province, have resulted in the deaths of at least 23 people and the disappearance of more than 100 others. Rescue teams, aided by the army and the United Nations, are working to clear debris and search for the missing amid widespread damage that has destroyed many buildings and shops, with significant destruction across the region. Additionally, heavy rains and floods have claimed 12 lives in neighboring Pakistan. Reports confirm that the situation in the area is catastrophic, with water levels rising to unprecedented heights. The residents are suffering from the loss of everything, as relief efforts continue to provide food, water, and tents. The increase in such extreme weather events is considered a consequence of climate change, which is making natural disasters more frequent and severe, especially in the world's poorest countries.
