Afghanistan has been experiencing a severe drought for the past few days due to the severe effects of climate change. This was followed by a sharp decline in crop production. The rains have intensified amid threats that it could lead to a serious food crisis and poverty. About 3,000 acres of farmland were destroyed in the floods alone.
