 "Afghanistan: Dozens killed, injured as heavy snowfall hits several provinces")
Over the past three days, there has been widespread, heavy snowfall in numerous Afghan provinces, which has tragically resulted in the deaths of fifteen people and the injury of about thirty more.
A TOLOnews report states that data from the provinces of Balkh and Faryab show that the recent snowfall has had a disastrous effect on cattle, with around ten thousand animals dying.
Afghanistan has announced the creation of a commission made up of representatives from several ministries to address the damages, especially to those who own livestock, in reaction to the situation. Fifty million Afghanis have been set aside by the government to assist livestock owners in the provinces of Balkh, Jawzjan, Badghis, Faryab, and Herat.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock’s Taliban-appointed spokesperson, Misbahuddin Mustaeen, emphasized the prompt action of committees established in every province. These committees are hard at work clearing blocked roads, providing impacted areas with food and fuel, and rescuing individuals left behind following the significant snowfall.

According to Esmatullah Muradi, a spokesman for the Faryab provincial governor, the province’s high snowfall caused most district road closures, trapping residents in outlying locations. Sadly, one individual perished in the Chahar Sada district near the border with Turkmenistan.
