Web Title-Snow, Cold Snap Leave 27 Children Dead In Northern Afghanistan</s>Heavy snowfall and freezing weather has killed 27 children in a remote district of northern Afghanistan, an official says.

Fifty centimeters of snow blocked roads in Darzaab in northern Jawzjan Province as temperatures plunged to minus 10 degrees Celsius, district Governor Rahmatullah Hashar said on January 26.

Hashar said the deaths occurred over the past two or three days, adding that all of the children were under the age of 5.

The fact that access for villagers has been cut off means the toll could rise, he also said.

However, the provincial governor's spokesman, Reza Ghafoori, said aid would be delivered.

Each winter, heavy snowfall, subzero temperatures, and avalanches kill scores of people in Afghanistan, where poor infrastructure makes it difficult for rescuers to reach isolated areas.

Based on reporting by AFP and Pajhwok</s>MAZAR-I-SHARIF, Afghanistan: Heavy snowfall and freezing weather has killed 27 children, all under the age of five, in a remote district in northern Afghanistan, officials said on Thursday, with fears the toll could rise.

Roads in Darzaab in northern Jawzjan province were blocked by 50 centimetres of snow, cutting off access for villagers in the area to medical care as temperatures plunged to -10 degrees Celsius (14 Fahrenheit).

"Unfortunately we have 27 children killed due to heavy snowfall and freezing weather," district governor Rahmatullah Hashar told AFP, saying the deaths had occurred over the last two or three days.

All the children were under the age of five, he said, adding the blocked roads mean the toll could still increase.

The deaths were confirmed by the Jawzjan provincial governor’s spokesman, Reza Ghafoori, who said aid would be delivered via emergency committees.

Heavy snowfall and avalanches kill scores of people in Afghanistan each winter.

In 2015, avalanches killed some 300 people across the country, the bulk of them in the mountainous province of Panjshir, north of Kabul.

Rescue efforts after disasters such as avalanches and flash floods, which often hit as snows melt in the spring, are frequently hampered by lack of equipment. Poor infrastructure makes it difficult for rescue teams to reach isolated areas.

According to KDKA-TV Meteorologist Ron Smiley, snow showers are expected to arrive as we are heading into the afternoon hours.

Some heavier snow showers will push through the area late this afternoon into the evening hours. Temperatures during this time should remain above the freezing mark in Pittsburgh.

This, along with the warm temperatures over the past two weeks, should help to melt a lot of the snow that falls. In other conditions, we could have seen a couple of inches of snow on the ground from this event, but with expected conditions, we are only forecasting about a half inch of snow on the ground in Pittsburgh.

Other areas will see more snow. In particular, the Laurel Highlands, Ridges, and other elevated areas located south and east of Pittsburgh. These areas are under a Winter Weather Advisory through 1 a.m. Friday.

The National Weather Service is calling for 4-7 inches of snow in elevated areas. Smiley thinks many places will see that much snow, but has adjusted his higher end forecast to 2-7 inches of snow for this area.

Either way, you should be prepared for the potential for a lot of snow over the next 15 hours.

Parts of Butler County along with locations located north of Interstate 80 can also expect to see a little more snow on the ground than Pittsburgh. No advisories are needed for these areas, but overall we are expecting to see a half inch of snow to 2 inches of snow falling.

Snow will continue Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday with only minor local accumulations expected.

Once again, elevated areas will lead the way with an additional 1-2 inches of snow falling every 24 hours.
