Jeddah, 11 May 2024 - Intense flash floods have hit hard the northern Afghan province of Baghlan and at least three other neighboring provinces, according to local reports.
The human toll is significant and is expected to continue rising. Heavy seasonal rainfall on Friday 10 May 2024 caused severe flooding, affecting hundreds of families and wreaking extensive damage to infrastructure, property, and farmland.
The devastating flash floods hit Afghanistan just a few months following a string of deadly earthquakes that rocked several provinces across the country.
The tragic consequences of the current flash floods should sound an alarm bell for the OIC community and beyond.
creasing numbers of vulnerable families and children will desperately need urgent support in the coming days and weeks to survive and recover.
The OIC appeals, as a matter of urgency, to all its Member States and other countries across the world as well as relief organizations to promptly channel life-saving assistance to help Afghan people impacted by the ongoing floods. – OIC News
