A woman and three children were killed, and three other women and children were critically injured, when the roof of a house fell owing to torrential rains in Nangarhar province, eastern Afghanistan, on Wednesday night.
According to local sources, a roof collapse in the Spin Ghar district of Nangarhar province resulted in four deaths and three critical injuries as a result of the province’s heavy rainfalls. The ill-fated, poverty-stricken man, according to sources, lost family members, as the roof collapse killed them on the spot.
Local officials in Nangarhar province, confirming the veracity of the incident, stated that the recent torrential rains caused the roof to collapse and consequently resulted in the tragedy.—Khaama New Press Agency
