Due to heavy rains and flash flooding in Afghanistan dozens were killed and hundreds were injured and swept away thousands of homes. Afghanistan has been reeling from natural disasters this year, including drought and a massive earthquake that killed over 1,000 people in June, with the nation largely cut off from the international financial system since the Taliban took over a year ago.
