Flash floods in Afghanistan triggered by days of torrential rain have killed more than 30 people, officials said Saturday, with dozens reported missing. Waters swept through villages and parts of the city of Cheghcheran in central Ghor province early on Saturday, engulfing dozens of homes, provincial spokesman Abdulhai Khatibi told AFP. “So for I can confirm that 24 people have been killed in these floods, but some are also missing,” Khatibi said. The floodwaters also destroyed hundreds of hectares of farmland and displaced hundreds of people in the impoverished province, he said.
