Earlier flooding in Ghor province claimed at least 50 lives, with dozens reported missing.
Last week, heavy rains triggered severe losses in northern Afghanistan, particularly in Baghlan, Badakhshan, and Takhar provinces.
Melting winter snow, coupled with heavy rains and inadequate infrastructure, leads to annual floods in Afghanistan, causing significant loss of life and property, as quoted from the Sun site.
