Situational Updates

• Floods continued into June, significantly affecting northern provinces of Baghlan and Badakhshan, as well as parts of Ghor. Over 350 deaths, including children, were reported, together with extensive infrastructure damage and the internal displacement of thousands of families.

• The floods were a part of a larger pattern of extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change, highlighting the urgent need for increased investment in climate resilience activities. WFP has been actively providing food, nutrition, and cash assistance to support affected populations.
