He added that 200 people were killed and 300 others were injured due to the floods in Afghanistan in recent weeks, and 12 thousand residential houses and hundreds of thousands of acres of agricultural land were destroyed.
 
The Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate said in this meeting that: "I request countries, institutions, international organizations and good people to help the people suffering from the recent natural disasters."
