Pope Francis, the leader of Catholics worldwide, has called on the global community to support the flood victims in Afghanistan with their aid.
The Pope said he was deeply affected by the tragic consequences of the flooding in Afghanistan.
He spoke early Wednesday in his public address, praying for the flood victims in Afghanistan in recent days, especially the children and their families.
The Vatican announced that Pope Francis, in his speech, has called on the people and the global community to support the flood victims in Afghanistan.
The leader of the world’s Catholics mentioned the destruction of a large number of homes in Afghanistan, urging the international community to protect the affected people immediately.
According to reports, floods and heavy rains have destroyed several villages in northern Afghanistan, leaving more than 315 dead so far.
Earlier, Save the Children reported that the recent flooding in Baghlan has affected the lives of 80,000 people and destroyed 12,000 homes.
According to the latest statistics, about 40,000 children have become homeless due to the flooding in Baghlan.
This occurs amid a severe humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, worsened by recent floods. Additionally, the forced deportation of Afghan refugees from neighboring countries compounds the situation.
