Heavy rainfall in parts of northern Balkh province has caused flooding that destroyed hundreds of residential units.
“Following the monsoon rains from Sunday night up to now, over 500 residential units in Nahar-Shahi district have been flooded. 280 of those units were destroyed,” the District Chief, Sher Muhammad Abu-Tariq said.
The officials warn that if the necessary steps are not taken quickly to help the affected families, a huge humanitarian disaster would take place.
A number of flood victims in Balkh also requested immediate assistance from the government and other aid agencies.
Meanwhile the officials of the Natural Disaster Body said that they are fully prepared to distribute foodstuffs and other necessary items among the families affected by the floods.
“The flood way has been blocked by the private companies thus the flood has moved towards residential areas” Balkh local officials claim.
Every year, monsoon floods create many problems for the several provinces including Balkh and in some cases leave many financial losses.
