STORYLINE:
Heavy rains and overnight hailstorms have killed at least 22 people near Afghanistan's capital, Kabul.
The rains began late on Saturday and continued into Sunday morning, a disaster management official said.
They caused floods that killed at least 20 people in Kabul's Chakardara district just north of the capital, he said.
The victims included seven children.
Another two children died in a flood in the Paghman district west of the capital, according to the official.
Most of the victims were in cars that were swept away and submerged by the flooding.
At least 10 homes in Chakardara were either swept away or heavily damaged, and earthmoving equipment has been sent to the area to look for any more victims or survivors buried under the mud.
Houses in Afghanistan are often built of mud and straw, or mud bricks.
Heavy rains are uncommon in mid-summer.
Last week flash floods killed about 75 people in five eastern provinces.
