KABUL, 08 May, 2021 (TON): Seven people, all members of one family, were killed in Nijrab district, Kapisa province, when a roof they were sheltering under during heavy rainfall collapsed on Saturday morning, district governor Abdul Quddos Mujaddedi said.

According to the official, the incident happened in Dara-e-Ghaws area in the district early hours of Saturday morning.

District governor said that the victims include parents of the family and their five children.

Due to recent heavy rainfalls, the house's roof was badly soaked that ultimately wrecked and caused the tragic incident.

Such incidents are common in Afghanistan as most of the houses and shops in countryside have been built with mud and woods.
