The death toll from Wednesday flash floods in Parwan rose to 129 on Saturday as the search for bodies trapped in the debris continued for the fourth day, the provincial governor’s spokesperson Wahida Shahkar said.

Shahkar said that 130 others have been wounded in the floods that swept the Charikar city in the central province of Parwan.

Five bodies were recovered from the debris on Saturday morning, according to local officials.

Afghans from various regions of the country have been contributing in the relief and rescue operation to help their countrymen after flash floods swept several provinces including Charikar city.

But Charikar residents who have been affected by the floods said they need more help.
