Residents of villages in western Afghanistan began removing the worst floods in 10 years, displacing homes and forcing families already displaced by daught to evacuate their homes.
Areas of western and northern Afghanistan saw heavy rains over three days from Friday, killing 35 people in a flash flood that hit at least five states.
In addition to bulldozing homes, floods have destroyed shelters for displaced people and isolated remote villages in several parts of the country.
At least 10 provinces in Herat province in western Afghanistan were damaged, as were parts of its capital.
State-of-the-art footage shown cars stacked in the mud, broken walls, mud homes turned into rubble, raised trees, and people trying to save as much as they could from their muddy homes.
"We have lost everything here and we have nothing to live from," said Bibi Gul, who lost her home in Herat.
"The cows, sheep and even pigeons are under the rubble," said Fadel Ahmed, also from the region.
Mohammed Hanif Arbazadeh said about 80 percent of the houses in his village had been destroyed.
Hishmat Bahadri, spokesman for the Afghan Disaster Management Agency, said more than 3,000 houses had been completely or partially destroyed.
Heavy snowfall during the winter in Afghanistan has raised fears of torrential flooding with spring nearing after years of drought.
At least 20 people were killed earlier this month by sudden floods triggered by heavy rains that swept thousands of homes and cars in Kandahar province in the south of the country.
