Death Toll from Recent Afghanistan Floods Rises to 99, Taliban Authority Says

Recent flash floods have struck multiple provinces across Afghanistan, killing at least 77 people and injuring over 137 others, according to Taliban disaster management officials.

The Taliban National Disaster Management Authority reported a death toll of 99 from the floods, with more than 154 people injured, Amu TV said. Other Taliban officials put the fatalities at 77 and injuries at 137, Khaama Press reported. The floods have affected around 6,000 families, destroyed more than 3,600 houses, ruined 11,700 jeribs of agricultural land and damaged 337 kilometers of roads, the authority said.

In the past 24 hours alone, 11 people were killed and 11 others injured across 21 provinces, including Kabul, Parwan and Daykundi, Amu TV reported. Victims have appealed for urgent aid that has yet to arrive.

Separately, Taliban officials reported nine deaths and four injuries from a recent earthquake.

The U.N. Human Settlements Programme stated that more than 31,000 people were affected by flash floods in Afghanistan in 2025, highlighting the country's growing vulnerability to climate disasters. The European Union is providing rescue assistance, Amu TV added.

Taliban authorities emphasized the need for humanitarian assistance and resilient infrastructure in vulnerable communities.
