As U.S. Withdraws, Civilian Casualties In Afghanistan Reach A Record High

In this June 12, 2021 photo, Afghan security personnel inspect the site of a bomb explosion in Kabul, Afghanistan. In a report released Monday, the United Nations said that more women and children were killed and wounded in Afghanistan in the first half of 2021 than in any year since the UN began keeping count.

The U.N. warns that without a major de-escalation in violence, Afghanistan is on course to have the highest ever number of documented civilian casualties in a single year since record-keeping began.
