People in eastern Afghanistan have expressed their concerns over the rise in Malaria in eastern parts of the country.
Habibullah Arwal, head of the health services union in eastern Afghanistan warned that the disease will cause tremendous problems for people if not curbed.
"Cases of Malaria will increase during the next few months, not only in eastern provinces, but also in southern and southeastern provinces and even in the west, Kandahar and Farah provinces and the provinces that are green," he said.
Residents of eastern Afghanistan said the lack of attention to hygiene by people in cities was the mean reason for the increase in malaria.
"Due to a weak economy, people cannot have a hygienic life, to buy anti-mosquito nets, to have fans or to use medicine to prevent malaria," said Awalurahman, a resident of Nangarhar province.
Malaria is a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes that can even lead to death, if not treated in time.
