More than 130 people have died in Afghanistan and Pakistan due to rainstorms.


Unusually heavy rains have caused widespread devastation in Pakistan and Afghanistan, claiming over 130 lives and destroying thousands of homes. Climate change is being cited as a contributing factor to the severity of the storms. Both countries have been affected by flash floods, landslides, and infrastructure damage, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province in Pakistan being hardest hit. The recent deluge adds to the environmental challenges already faced by the region, such as the devastating monsoon season in 2022. Concerns are raised about the impact on agriculture and the potential for further destruction during the upcoming monsoon season. Efforts are being made to mitigate future climate-related disasters, including building retention dams and controlling deforestation.
