# Afghanistan disaster death toll rises to 110 as floods continue
Afghanistan’s disaster toll has climbed to 110 after another 11 deaths were recorded in the past 24 hours, according to the country’s National Disaster Management Authority.
The event date for the update is 2026-04-06. In the KabulNow report in the packet, spokesman Mohammad Yousuf Hammad said the number of injured people had also reached 160 and that seven people remained missing after rain-related incidents across the country. The figures point to a continuing emergency rather than a one-day event.
The authority, which is under Taliban control, said 958 houses had been completely destroyed and 4,155 partially damaged. It also said heavy rain and flooding had destroyed hundreds of kilometers of roads, agricultural land, water canals and livestock.
The report says the most recent rainfall has been concentrated over roughly ten days and that more rain is expected to continue until at least April 15 in several provinces, with a risk of more flash flooding. That makes the situation dynamic: the death toll may still rise if the forecasted weather materializes.
The KabulNow piece links the immediate flooding to a wider pattern of climate stress. It says Afghanistan has experienced multiple years of reduced rainfall and drought, even though some areas saw winter snow and rain. Overall precipitation remains below the long-term average, adding another layer of strain to already fragile communities.
The article also cites a Food and Agriculture Organization forecast that widespread rainfall was expected across Afghanistan between March 30 and April 5, especially in central, eastern and southeastern regions. That forecast helps explain why the flooding was not isolated to one district or province.
Beyond the immediate casualties, the toll includes damage to homes, roads and water systems that rural communities depend on. Loss of livestock and agricultural land could compound the economic damage long after floodwaters recede.
The report places the current disaster in a longer history of extreme weather. It says Afghanistan has endured eight major droughts since 1969, including severe events in 2018 and 2021 that affected more than 11 million people. It also warns of ongoing groundwater depletion that threatens millions more.
Those details make the headline death toll only one measure of the crisis. For many families, the bigger problem may be the destruction of housing and farmland, combined with the prospect of more rain in the coming days.
The authorities’ next challenge is likely to be emergency shelter, road repair and access to remote areas while the weather remains unstable. The report offers no sign that the danger has passed.
