The death toll from heavy rains in eastern Afghanistan climbed to 47 on Tuesday.
CHARBAGH SAFA – The death toll from heavy rains in eastern Afghanistan climbed to 47 on Tuesday, as victims recounted how the tempest demolished entire homes and buried families alive.
The home of Sajidullah had been packed with relatives eager to meet his brother's newborn baby when the deluge collapsed the building -- killing the new father alongside ten others. In Charbagh Safa valuable livestock lay crushed under the rubble, crops killed by wind or water, and solar panels providing precious power had blown kilometres away.
"Our area is far-flung so people tried their best to pull victims out of the rubble and take them to hospital but it took more time unfortunately." However, villagers complained they had received little help. "No one has come so far to deliver the aid," said one, reporting he had only seen Taliban government security forces.The Taliban takeover of August 2021 ended two decades of war but many foreign missions and aid groups fled the country, shrinking the help available to Afghans.
