Over 40 people have been confirmed dead on Sunday as snowstorms wreak havoc on various parts of Afghanistan, prompting the government to declare Sunday as public holiday, The Associated Press reports.

The unprecedented snow in a decade has led to the closure of main highways leaving many people stranded, out of power and other supplies.

According to the country’s National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the extraordinary snowfall has particularly affected some 19 provinces where up to 100 homes have been completely destroyed.
