Northern Afghanistan faces flash floods. On Friday, May 10, they caused severe material damage and caused the deaths of 311 people, according to a provisional report from the UN. The country has been affected by these deadly weather phenomena since mid-April.
Resources are paltry in Laqayi, in northern Afghanistan, but residents have no choice but to clean up the damage caused by floods and torrents of mud that have invaded the village. Friday May 10, flash floods surprised everyone. A thick magma of water and earth rose to the roofs of the houses, which were often fragile and built of adobe.

“People were swept away by the floods, our children were swept away by these floods. Their legs and arms are broken. We no longer have a place to sleep“, testifies Khal Mohammad, who survived. The relief operations are only just beginning and promise to be delicate. The United Nations is currently speaking of 311 deaths. The floods and floods have already caused around a hundred deaths in around ten of provinces of the country since mid-April.
