UMCOR Responds to Flash Floods

Afghanistan
The same torrential rains wreaking havoc on Pakistan are also causing destruction and displacement in neighboring Afghanistan. Over 106 people have died and thousands of homes were destroyed in 15 of Afghanistan's 34 provinces.

The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), together with the International Rescue Committee provided tents to 800 affected families in the Mohammed Agha District of Logar province who lost their homes in the flooding, meeting 100 percent of the need for temporary shelter.
