KABUL, 11 MAY 2024: Flash floods in Baghlan in Northern Afghanistan have killed at least 200 people - including children - with many more injured, according to the de facto authorities. Thousands of homes have been destroyed or damaged, with many areas still cut off.  

About 600,000 people -  of which an estimated 310,000 are children - live in the five districts in Baghlan that have been severely impacted by the floods. Save the Children is sending a ‘clinic on wheels’ with mobile health and child protection teams to support children and their families.
