Rain, storms kill 121 people in Afghanistan and Pakistan in two weeks

Heavy rain and storms have killed at least 121 people over two weeks across Afghanistan and Pakistan, disaster officials in both countries said Saturday. Stormy weather has brought rain sweeping across Afghanistan since late March, causing floods, landslides, and hitting homes and crops.

Afghanistan's disaster management authority renewed its warning to people to stay away from "rivers and flooded streams, and follow the weather forecast seriously". Afghanistan frequently experiences deadly floods, landslides and storms, particularly in remote areas with fragile infrastructure.
