KABUL, June 30 (Xinhua) -- One person has been confirmed dead and three others sustained injuries as a roof collapsed in eastern Afghanistan's Khost province on Sunday evening, provincial government spokesman Mustaghfir Gurbaz said Monday.
The gruesome incident took place in the wake of heavy downpour in Jaji Maidan district, in which a 64-year-old woman lost her life, and three others, including two children, were injured, the official said, adding that all the injured individuals had been taken to hospital.
In war-torn Afghanistan, especially in the countryside, people are mostly living in mud houses, which are prone to natural disasters such as rainstorms, snowfall and flooding.
Rainstorms and flash floods claimed at least two lives and inflicted property damage in eastern Khost and neighboring Logar and Wardak provinces a couple of days ago.
