Seven members of a family lost their lives as the roof of their house caved in on Friday in Afghanistan's eastern Laghman province, said Qari Khair Mohammad Ghazi, provincial director for Natural Disaster Management and Humanitarian Affairs.
According to the official, the deadly incident took place at 2 a.m. local time Friday in Alishing district when the roof of a mud house collapsed and killed seven members of the ill-fated family.
Five children, along with their parents, were killed. Only an eight-year-old girl survived but was in critical condition, the official further said.
