UN: More than 1,000 dead or injured in Afghanistan last month

Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths said he is "extremely concerned by the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan." "Afghan children, women and men are suffering and forced to live with violence, insecurity, and fear every day," he said in a statement.

More than a thousand people were killed or injured by attacks in Afghanistan's conflict-hit provinces of Helmand, Kandahar and Herat in July alone, UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths said on Monday.
Griffiths said in a statement he was "extremely concerned by the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan" as the Taliban seizes more and more territory, including important cities, from government forces and the US and its allies withdraw troops.
With the start of the official withdrawal of international troops from Afghanistan on May 1, the Taliban had launched several offensives.
They have since captured more than 160 of the roughly 400 districts and several provincial capitals.
Griffiths supported the UN's call for a ceasefire. He also called for security and freedom of movement for aid organizations in the country.

AT LEAST 27 CHILDREN KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN

At least 27 children have been killed and 136 injured across three provinces of Afghanistan over the past three days amid escalating violence, the U.N. children's agency said on Monday.

"UNICEF is shocked by the rapid escalation of grave violations against children in Afghanistan," UNICEF country representative Hervé Ludovic De Lys said in an emailed statement. "The atrocities grow higher by the day."

The deaths and injuries were reported in Kandahar, Khost and Pakria provinces.
