1 Afghanistan floods: A U.N. agency says at least 20 people died as heavy rains and flooding over the past few days swept away homes and cars in southern Kandahar province. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said at least 10 people, including children, remain missing. Up to 2,000 homes are believed to have been damaged. Heavy snowfall across Afghanistan this winter has cut off many areas and raised fears of severe flooding throughout the spring. So far this year, nearly 50 people died in floods.
