Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Afghanistan, has called on the Taliban and international actors to immediately assist flood victims in Afghanistan.

He emphasised that the recent floods serve as a reminder of Afghanistan's vulnerability to climate change.

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.
