Afghanistan, one of the world’s poorest nations following decades of conflict, is especially vulnerable to the consequences of the climate catastrophe, which scientists claim is causing extreme weather.

According to officials, hail and intense rain caused 29 fatalities in two Afghan regions.

According to Mohammad Israel Sayar, head of the province’s Disaster Management Department, hail in western Farah province caused “twenty-one people to be killed and six others to be injured” on Tuesday.

According to him, the victims were part of two families who had gone on a picnic.

According to a statement from the local disaster management agency, strong rains in southern Kandahar killed eight people, including women and children, in multiple areas.

“Today, four women who were busy washing clothes were swept away by floodwaters… and only one woman survived,” read the statement.

It further stated that a roof collapsed on a family, killing a mom and three children, and that a toddler drowned in Kandahar.

Afghanistan, one of the world’s poorest nations following decades of conflict, is especially vulnerable to the consequences of the climate catastrophe, which scientists claim is causing extreme weather.

It is the sixth most climate-vulnerable nation in the world.

Stephen Rodriques, the UN development agency’s representative in Afghanistan, stated in 2023 that the main dangers are drought, floods, soil degradation, and dwindling agricultural output.

In Afghanistan, where 80 percent of the population depends on farming for their livelihood, flash floods in May of last year flooded vast areas of agricultural land and killed hundreds.
