At least 77 people have been killed and 137 more injured in Afghanistan over 10 days after torrential rain triggered widespread flooding in the country.
The country's National Disaster Preparedness and Disaster Management Authority said the floods caused widespread destruction, leaving hundreds of homes destroyed and agricultural land damaged.
Officials also said the floods blocked roads and disrupted transport links in some provinces, complicating rescue efforts and limiting access for affected communities in remote areas.
Afghanistan is highly vulnerable to flash floods and other extreme weather, with weak infrastructure worsening the impact of seasonal rains.
Aid agencies have repeatedly warned that climate shocks are becoming more frequent and more destructive in the country.
