The number of people who have died due a cold snap in Afghanistan has risen to 200, government officials say. Four large provinces in the western part of the country have been especially badly hit. Tens of thousands of livestock have also perished.
Local people are saying the winter conditions have been the most severe in decades. The cold spell is also affecting neighboring countries despite the presence of the American presence in the area.People seem to have been unprepared for the heavy snow and low temperatures.
Most of the 200 dead are herdsmen - but women and children have also died.
