UN says millions of Afghans have been forced to leave home because of displacement, most of them children. In the first half of this year, 4,000 people were killed, including the most ordinary citizens. According to the report, the highest civilian casualties were recorded in July. The World Organization for Co-operation Human Affairs (OCHA) says in its report during the first 7 months of 2019, 2 lakh 17 thousand people were forced to relocate due to ongoing fighting in the country. And 58% of homeless people are children under the age of 18. Causes of internal migration include civil war as well as accidents and drought. According to the World Organization, aid is needed most of the victims because the homeless are also facing famine in the face of war.

In addition, the World Organization’s mission report in Afghanistan says that the war in Afghanistan killed 3,812 people from January to June this year. UN urges all stakeholders in Afghanistan to take a responsible approach to the protection of citizens in the civil war in July 2019, the civilian record has shrunk after two years. According to reports, more than 1,500 civilians were killed and equally injured in the civil war in July 2019. Which is the highest number of casualties in a month this year.

The report states that this is the highest number of casualties in Afghanistan in a month since May 2017. The main reason for this is the actions of the government and anti-American groups. It should be noted that Secretary General of the World Institute António Guterres had a special representative for Afghanistan last month although efforts to reduce conflict have been intensified, I urge the parties to refrain from using excessive force to increase their importance in peace talks. Because the result is mass casualties.
