The UN official, on Saturday, expressed condolences to the families of the flood victims, urging the Taliban and international actors to provide long-term assistance to those affected by the floods.
The Taliban is yet to provide a comprehensive tally of the overall casualties and damages caused by the floods across Afghanistan even after a week since the natural disaster occurred. However, the group has reported 50 deaths in Balkh and 20 in Takhar till now.
