New report shows devastating toll of Afghan war on children 

Kabul, November 23 (RHC)-- In Afghanistan, United Nations data shows over 26,000 children were killed or injured from 2005 to 2019. 

The figures were published in a new report by Save the Children, which warns Afghanistan is among the most dangerous countries in the world for children as a result of the ongoing war between the U.S.-backed Afghan government and the Taliban.

This comes as at least eight people were killed following a rocket attack in Kabul over the weekend.  The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack.
