TENS of thousands of children remain affected by ongoing flash floods in Afghanistan, United Nations children’s agency Unicef said today.
Unusually heavy seasonal rains have been wreaking havoc on multiple parts of the country, particularly the north and west, killing hundreds of people and destroying property and crops.
The World Food Programme (WFP), another UN agency, has warned that many survivors are unable to make a living.
