At Least 50 Killed, Houses Damaged As Heavy Rains, Floods Wreak Havoc In Afghanistan’s Ghor Province

At least 50 people died following a fresh bout of heavy rain and flooding in central Afghanistan, an official said on May 18, while thousands of houses were also destroyed.

Mawlawi Abdul Hai Zaeem, the head of the information department for the central Ghor province, said there was no information about how many people were injured in the rain spell that began on Friday (May 17), which had also cut off many key roads to the area.

Zaeem added that 2,000 houses were completely destroyed, 4,000 partially damaged, and more than 2,000 shops were underwater in the province's capital, Feroz-Koh.

Last week, flash floods caused by heavy rains devastated villages in northern Afghanistan, killing 315 people and injuring more than 1,600, authorities said
