On 16 September 2026, heavy rainfall, and reportedly caused significant damage in Andarluchak Camp, Chawkay District. Flooding tore down more than 150 tents in the camp for people affected by last year’s earthquake. Floodwater entered many other tents, damaging household and essential living items, and several camp latrines were washed away. Three shops were also destroyed, and one bakery and a mosque were damaged.
The entire surrounding of the Mobile Health and Nutrition Team run by our local partner AADA was completely destroyed, but thankfully AADA’s assets and activities haven’t been affected.
World Vision Afghanistan is grateful to everyone responding in the aftermath of the flooding, although we remain highly concerned about the regularity of these types of disasters.
Global warming has led to recurring , which reduce the land’s ability to absorb rainfall and increase flooding risks. This will likely be made even worse by El Niño, the global climate pattern caused by unusually warm ocean temperatures.
The world has entered a “danger zone of extreme weather” as El Niño’s impacts are increasingly felt, says the UN. They could be the strongest for more than 70 years and last until at least February 2027.
We support for Afghanistan, where communities bear disproportionate climate impacts despite essentially playing no role in causing them.
