Wow, okay Afg really needs to think about constructing proper leeves, reserviors, to help prevent and/or control future floods.

I hope these families affected by it are okay. Flooding does more than just damage to roads and houses. Eventually it causes outbreaks of infectious diseases. And since its Ghazni where many families do not have access to electricity, there will be more effects from the flood. I hope endurance for these people.
