Flash floods that have ripped through northern Afghanistan left more than 200 people dead in a single province, the United Nations said on Saturday, reports AFP.

More than 200 people were killed and thousands of houses were destroyed or damaged in Baghlan province when heavy rains on Friday sparked massive flooding, the UN's International Organization for Migration said.
