In Islamabad, a Taliban government representative shared that 36 individuals lost their lives and 40 were injured due to severe snowfall and rain in various regions of Afghanistan. This unfortunate event has brought both relief from drought and tragedy in the country's provinces, according to Abdullah Jan Saiq from the National Disaster Management Authority.
Preliminary reports from local authorities revealed that the extreme weather conditions have caused significant harm and suffering to many people, particularly in the southwestern province of Farah. Saiq disclosed that the heavy snow and rain have left 240 homes completely destroyed and damaged an additional 61. The devastation also extended to hundreds of acres of land.
To support the affected communities, Saiq stated that survey teams have been deployed to the impacted areas, with ongoing efforts and collaboration with non-governmental organizations. Additionally, the Ministry of Public Works is working towards reopening blocked roads in certain provinces that were affected by the snow, to ensure smooth transportation and access to resources.
As the situation continues to unfold, the government is closely monitoring the weather and its effects on the population. The National Disaster Management Authority and other relevant agencies are committed to providing aid and support to those who have been affected by this natural disaster. Let us hope for a swift recovery and for the safety of all those who have been impacted.
