50 killed, primarily women and children, in Afghanistan's Baghlan province flash floods due to heavy seasonal rains.
50 people, primarily women and children, were killed in flash floods caused by heavy seasonal rains in Afghanistan's Baghlan province on Friday. The flooding left residents unprepared and has led to at least 100 deaths across 10 Afghan provinces since mid-April. Afghanistan, which ranks sixth on the list of countries most at risk from climate change, is particularly vulnerable due to its high poverty rate and reliance on agriculture.
