Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox event In July 2023, Afghanistan experienced severe flooding resulting from heavy seasonal rainfall, leading to the loss of lives and dozens of missing persons over a three-day period. The flash floods were triggered by intense rains affecting seven provinces in the country, causing significant damage to residential houses and hundreds of acres of agricultural lands. The highest number of casualties occurred in the western Kabul and Maidan Wardak provinces.[1][2][3]
Agricultural land encompassing hundreds of square miles was severely damaged and washed away by the floods. Additionally, the floods caused the closure of the highway connecting Kabul and the central Bamiyan province.[3]
Shafiullah Rahimi, spokesman for the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority, stated that 74 people were injured and at least 41 remain missing. Personnel from various government entities, including the ministries of defense, public welfare, and the Red Crescent, as well as provincial and other officials, responded to the flood-affected areas to conduct rescue operations.[2]
