A total of 13,492 families received cash assistance in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Logar, the country’s Office of the State Minister for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Affairs said on Sunday.

The assistance was the second batch being distributed to the same families, according to sources.

Besides, provincial disaster management officials distributed food assistance to 100 flood-affected families in the western Herat province, the Office said.
