least 300 people have died in flash flooding that has ravaged northern Afghanistan in recent days, the Word Food Programme said Sunday.
The provinces of Badakhshan, Ghor, Baghlan, and Herat have all experienced heavy flooding, which has also damaged nearly 2,000 homes, a communications officer from UN agency the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said in a statement a day earlier.
“Flash floods ravage Afghanistan, killing more than 300 people in Baghlan and destroying more than 1000 houses,” the WFP said in a post on X. “This has been one of many floods over the last few weeks, due to unusually heavy rainfall. WFP is now distributing fortified biscuits to the survivors.”
Europe in 2 months:
I would not want to send any NGO into a country run by the Taliban.
Yea, there’s that too. I was mostly thinking about how Europe is getting more xenophobic and caring less about climate change
I can’t find any source for that doing a duckduckgo search, do you have anywhere I can read up on that?
Yea, of course. This article is specifically about Germany, but notes that it’s a trend across Europe
Thank you for the context
To be fair: Europe spent 20 years and massive resources trying to improve the situation in Afghanistan, failed spectacularly, and were told very clearly by the Afghans that they should leave. I wouldn’t judge them for taking that message to heart and finally leaving Afghanistan alone.
