For the sixth year in a row, more than 10,000 civilians were killed or injured in armed conflict in Afghanistan, a new U.N. report says. 30% of the casualties were children.
Among the more than 3,400 civilians killed and nearly 7,000 injured last year, the Taliban was the single group responsible for the largest share of casualties, at 47%, and more than 1,300 deaths. It was followed by the Afghan national security sources, at 16% and 680 deaths, according to the report produced by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, or USAMA.
The number of casualties attributed to a branch of Islamic State dropped steeply from the previous year, from 2,181 casualties in 2018 to 1,223 in 2019.
