Monsoon rains caused flooding in the Sarobi District of Kabul Province, Afghanistan, killing 35 people including women and children. The flooding destroyed homes and infrastructure in the area. Over 400 students had their girl's school destroyed along with losing all school records. Relief efforts are underway but limited due to damaged roads and infrastructure. The Afghan Scouts are focusing their relief efforts on rebuilding the girl's school which needs funds, supplies, and materials to support over 400 students.
