EMERGENCIES ACROSS ASIA
Deadly Floods Sweep Across Northern Afghanistan
Thousands of people across northern Afghanistan have been devastated by deadly floods that swept through the region on May 12. Roads and agricultural land have also been destroyed by the floods, which struck after days of torrential rain. Afghanistan is currently in the midst of one of the world’s biggest food crises and thousands of people in the affected areas are already suffering from severe hunger. Islamic Relief fears that families who have lost land, assets and homes will be pushed further towards starvation. Stay tuned to irusa.org/afghanistan for updates.
