KABUL: Heavy rains triggered flash floods in the eastern Afghan province of Logar, killing at least 20 people and destroying more than 3,000 homes, officials said Sunday (Aug 21).<\/p>\n

The rains lashed several areas of the province on Saturday, injuring more than 30 people in addition to those killed, the provincial governor’s office said.<\/p>\n

The floods also destroyed dozens of canals and about 5,000 acres of agricultural land, mainly orchards, the statement said, with about 2,000 livestock also killed.<\/p>\n

Scores of Afghans die every year from floods and torrential downpours, particularly in impoverished rural areas where poorly built homes are often at risk of collapse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
