Sixty people were missing and as many as 19 are dead after waters from a flash flood swept through a town in Afghanistan, officials said Sunday. In Sar-e-Pul, a provincial capital, 1,000 houses were destroyed and 10,000 people were left without a place to go after the heavy seasonal flood, according to Sayed Faizullah Sadat, the local national disaster director. “Most of these families have lost their houses—all their property, their livelihoods,” Sadat said. Hundreds of people were recovered from their rooftops after water rose as high as 1.5 meters, according to the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority.
