AFGHAN Flash floods death toll to 20

Flash floods and storms have killed 20 people after ravaging several provinces of Afghanistan over the past six days.

Scores of Afghans die every year in torrential downpours, particularly in impoverished rural areas where poorly built homes are at risk of collapse.

Deputy minister for disaster management Sharafuddin Muslim said the latest deluges wracked the provinces of Faryab and Parwan, as well as various other regions.

In a video statement on Wednesday, Muslim said “18 to 20 people have been killed across 10 provinces” and that more than 100 houses were also destroyed.
