Waters destroyed homes and shops in Parun city while leaving more than 100 unaccounted for across eastern Afghanistan.

Flash floods in eastern Afghanistan have killed at least 20 people and left more than 100 missing as of Monday, overwhelming local response capacity in Nuristan province [1]. The deluge struck Parun city and surrounding areas with enough force to destroy residential structures and commercial shops in the provincial capital [5]. Search and rescue operations are currently underway to locate those unaccounted for, though the casualty count remains a floor rather than a final tally [2].
