Daadad xooggan oo barakacay 26 qof ee Afghanistan, gargaarkuna wuxuu gaarayaa badbaadayaasha
Roobab culus oo 20-kii July dhacay ayaa sababay daadad gobolada bari, Nuristan ay ugu darantahay
Daadad degdeg ah ayaa dilay ugu yaraan 26 qof oo ku baahay bariga Afghanistan, kuwaas oo 23 ka mid ah ay ku dhinteen gobolka buuraleyda ah ee Nuristan. Saddex qaxooti Afgaan ah ayaa sidoo kale ku dhinteen xarigga soo laabashada ee u dhow Torkham, waxaana dhaawacmay sagaal qof. Roobab culus oo dhacay 20-kii July ayaa kiciyay masiibadaas.
Burburka Parun iyo Nuristan
Meesha ugu musiibada badan waxay ka dhacday magaalada Parun, ee xarunta gobolka Nuristan, halkaas oo daadad fiidnimo ku yimid qiyaastii 3pm waqti deegaanka. Ugu yaraan 22 guri ayaa burburay, 45 kalena si baahana uga dhaawacmeen, sida ay sheegayaan qiimeyntii hore.
Afar buundo, lix qaybood oo waddo, kanaalo waraabin iyo darbiyada ka hortagga daadad ayaa burbur baahana soo gaaray. Shabakaddii biyaha ee deegaanka ayaa dhaawacday, taas oo qiyaastii 1,000 qoys ka go'isay biyaha la cabbo, waxaana saameysay 10 hektar oo beeraha ah.
Hadalka OCHA iyo Gargaarka Caafimaadka
Olga Cherevko oo ka tirsan xarunta isuduwaynta gargaarka UN, OCHA, ayaa UN News u sheegtay in masiibada cimiladu ay dhaawacday guryo, waddo, buundo, nidaamyada biyaha, kaabayaasha waraabka iyo macaashka. Waxay tiri: 'The immediate priority right now is to save lives and reach people who may still be missing or injured. But as the waters recede, the needs will extend well beyond the initial emergency response.'
Cherevko waxay intaa ku dartay: 'Families whose homes have been destroyed or damaged will need shelter and essential household items, while damage to water and irrigation systems risks affecting access to safe drinking water and livelihoods.' UNICEF iyo laamihoodu waxay Parun dhiseysaa rug caafimaad oo bixisa daryeel dhaawac iyo adeegyo degdeg ah.
Qiimeyn iyo digniin roob dheeraad ah
Saddex kooxood oo qiimeyn isku-dhafan ayaa la filayaa inay bilaabaan qiimeyn baahida guud. Wada-hawlgalayaasha bini'aadantinimada ayaa dabagal ku haya saadaasha roobab dheeraad ah, iyagoo digniin ku siiyay in cimilo aan xasillooni karin ay keeni karto daadad cusub maalmaha soo socda.
Marka laga tago Nuristan, daadad ayaa si ku meel-gaar ah u carqaladeeyay dhaqdhaqaaqa marinka Torkham, waxaana burbur gaaray dukaamo iyo darbiga xarigga qaxootiga. Gobolka Laghman deriska ah, beeraha iyo nidaamyada waraabka ayaa ugu horeyn dhaawacmay, laakiin guri lama sheegin inuu burburay.
Heavy rain on 20 July triggered deadly flooding in Nuristan and near Torkham, with assessments and relief efforts now mobilizing.
Flash floods killed at least 26 people across eastern Afghanistan, including 23 in Nuristan province, after heavy rainfall on 20 July. Three refugees died at a Torkham transit camp and nine were injured. The worst impact was in Parun City, where a flood hit at about 3pm.
Destruction in Nuristan and border areas
In Parun City, the provincial capital, a sudden flash flood struck at about 3pm local time, causing the worst devastation. At least 22 houses were destroyed and 45 severely damaged, while four bridges and six road sections were extensively harmed.
Near the Torkham crossing, floodwaters damaged shops, livelihood installations and a refugee compound wall. Three Afghan refugees were killed there and movement was temporarily disrupted. In Laghman Province, farmland and irrigation were hit but no homes were reported damaged.
Humanitarian response and warnings
UNICEF and partners are setting up a field clinic in Parun for trauma and emergency care. Three inter-agency teams will begin needs assessments. OCHA said the event damaged homes, roads, bridges, water systems, irrigation and livelihoods.
Olga Cherevko of OCHA stated: 'The immediate priority right now is to save lives and reach people who may still be missing or injured. But as the waters recede, the needs will extend well beyond the initial emergency response.' Partners monitor further rainfall risks.
Infrastructure and water access lost
The local water network was damaged, cutting safe drinking water for around 1,000 families. About 10 hectares of agricultural land were affected. NGO offices, warehouses and vehicles were damaged and one staff member is reported missing.
Cherevko added: 'Families whose homes have been destroyed or damaged will need shelter and essential household items, while damage to water and irrigation systems risks affecting access to safe drinking water and livelihoods.' Relief faces hard terrain.
