FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda More than 100 homes have been destroyed as a result of the flooding that followed two days of torrential rain and hail fall in the northeastern province of Badakhshan, The Associated Press reported.
“This kind of rain and hail is not common at this time of year, so people were caught off guard,” said Sanaullah Amiri, the provincial head of Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority.
Hundreds of villagers in high-risk areas have been evacuated as a precaution against further flooding, he said.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said many of the unpaved, rutted roads in northern Afghanistan have been severely flooded, making aid distribution difficult.
Meanwhile, flooding hit villages and parts of the Cheghcheran city in the central province of Ghor early on Saturday.
Provincial spokesman Abdulhai Khatibi said the floodwaters had displaced hundreds of people and destroyed hundreds of hectares of farmland in the impoverished province.
“Many, many houses have been destroyed, and there are reports of lots of cattle and other animals being killed,” he said. “It is cloudy and we expect more rain.”
In May, flash floods in the northern province of Sar-e-Pol killed 50 people, mostly women and children.
