Storms and heavy rains have led to severe flooding and landslides in parts of the country, according to Afghan authorities, who fear the death toll could rise.
According to authorities, around 1,000 families have been affected so far by the storm, which has destroyed 130 homes and caused extensive damage to another 500 homes.
Afghanistan is vulnerable to extreme weather, and floods cause several deaths annually. Most recently, in January, about ten people died in rain and snowstorms.
The latest storm has also affected neighboring Pakistan. So far, 17 people have died and more than 50 people have been injured.
