Avalanches in Afghanistan – level 1

14-02-2017 07:00

This news is from Afghanistan. The country is in a difficult situation. It does not have many resources. In one region, there are avalanches. More than 119 people die. Around 200 homes are destroyed. Two villages are under the snow.

Rescue teams try to help people. This is not easy. It is dangerous. Afghanistan does not have the resources for this.

Difficult words: resources (things which help in a difficult situation – money, things, people, etc.), avalanche (when a lot of snow falls down from a mountain), rescue team (a group or a team of people who rescue and help people in danger).
