A spokesman for the National Disaster Management Authority, Shafiullah Rahimi, said the total death toll has reached 31 people across the country as a result of the floods since Friday, and extensive damage has been caused to property and farmland.
Rahimi added that 26 people died in the Jalraz district, 46 km east of Kabul, after the rains swept away hundreds of homes built mostly of mud.
