ISTANBUL - The death toll from heavy rains and floods in Afghanistan reached 400 people, according to the country's authorities, Saturday.

Gubernur Kegubernuran Faryab Ismetullah Muradi kepada Tolo News -- media setempat berbasis di Kabul-- mengatakan sedikitnya ditemukan 18 korban tewas akibat banjir di provinsi Faryab di perbatasan Turkmenistan dengan Afghanistan.

So that in the last few weeks, the number of fatalities due to flooding due to heavy rains in the country's northern province has reached 400 people.

Quoted by Antara from Anodalu, Muradi also mentioned that more than 2,000 hectares of agricultural land were damaged, more than 1,000 houses were damaged, and more than 300 animals died.

At least 50 people lost their lives and dozens more were lost due to flooding due to heavy rains in Ghor province.

Last week, heavy flooding in northern Afghanistan, especially in the provinces of Baghlan, Badakhshan, and Takhar, resulted in heavy losses.

In Afghanistan, melting snow for months has been due to rising temperatures, coupled with heavy rains and inadequate infrastructure, causing flooding and loss of life and property.

Hundreds of people die every year in Afghanistan as a result of the disaster.
