| Comments: | In March 2026, heavy and sustained rainfall triggered flash floods across 32 provinces in Afghanistan, particularly affecting low-lying areas and settlements along riverbeds. According to the Afghan Red Crescent Society (ARCS), more than 5,491 families were affected, with 127 deaths, 198 injuries, and 8 people missing. The floods caused widespread damage, including 5,491 houses completely or partially destroyed, 1,801 livestock lost, and approximately 37,519 jeribs of agricultural land damaged.
In response, ARCS distributed 161 non-food items to severely affected families. Additionally, 30,000 AFN was provided to 13 families who lost a breadwinner, and 15,000 AFN to 4 families with an injured head of household. Priority needs include emergency shelter, household items, food assistance, multipurpose cash support, and livelihood recovery. With the possibility of further rainfall, affected communities remain at risk of additional flooding. |
