KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Extensive flooding in many parts of Afghanistan has killed a further 14 people in the past 24 hours, authorities sai…
Afghan authorities say that severe flooding, a landslide and thunderstorms in parts of Afghanistan have left 17 people dead and 26 injured over the last 24 hours. The casualties are the latest from extreme weather in Afghanistan this year. The number could increase as crews from the country’s National Disaster Management Authority survey the affected areas, the authority’s spokesman Yousuf Hammad said in a statement Sunday. Thirteen of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces have been affected. The country is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events, with snow and heavy rain that triggers flash floods often killing dozens, or even hundreds, of people at a time.

The worst flooding to hit Hawaii in two decades swept homes off their foundations, floated cars out of driveways and left floors, walls and counters covered in thick, reddish volcanic mud. Crews continued to assess the destruction Monday, but authorities said hundreds of homes were damaged, along with some schools and a hospital. No deaths have been reported, but more than 230 people had to be rescued. Gov. Josh Green said the cost of the storm could top $1 billion, including damage to airports, schools, roads, homes and a Maui hospital. He called it the state’s most serious since flooding since 2004.
