    Afghanistan Flash Flood Situation Report2 1 May 2014 (covering 24-30 April) Situation Overview: Heavy rainfall between 24 and 30 April caused flash floods in ten northern, northeastern and western provinces. Initial reports obtained from provincial authorities indicate that 141 people have lost their lives and many others are still missing.

Based on the findings of these assessments, IOM and partners are carrying out interventions for the affected families.
